Common Misconceptions about Treating Prostatitis

A few days ago, he had dinner with his college roommate. He admitted that he had been seeking medical treatment repeatedly for more than half a year because of prostatitis. He had a relapse after stopping taking the medicine. It was only after a thorough study that he found that the direction of the initial treatment had deviated.

Prostatitis is very common in men's health, but because it involves privacy and messy network information, many people are prone to falling into misconceptions about treatment. 

Next, I will talk to you about the common misconceptions in the treatment of prostatitis so as to avoid misconceptions that delay recovery.

Misconception 1: "Prostatitis is a minor illness, which can always be cured." 

This is the most common misconception. Many men feel that prostate inflammation is a minor illness, and carrying a burden can be good; some people, because of "private parts sickness," feel ashamed and would rather endure than go to a regular hospital. 

I know a taxi driver who, at the beginning of frequent urination, always prevaricated by "driving and drinking too much water." Later, he developed the distance between driving and the service area, which had been dragged into chronic prostatitis when he was diagnosed. Clinical data clearly show that prostatitis has never been a "self-healing" case.

The prostate has its own antibacterial barrier, and inflammation means that the barrier has been damaged. Like the failure of security doors, germs will repeatedly invade. Hardship will only change from acute to chronic prostatitis and increase the difficulty of treatment. 

If you are not feeling well and seek medical treatment in time, there is no need to take face into account.

Misconception 2: "The symptom resembles venereal; one takes medicine to press first." 

With the appearance of "urethral orifice white secretion," "sexual life fatigue," and other symptoms, many people will be mistaken for having sexually transmitted diseases. He hurriedly bought antibiotics and took them by himself, which aggravated his condition. 

A young man in his 20s suffered losses because of this. After discovering that his underwear had a secretion, he secretly ate antibiotics for a month. The symptoms did not disappear, and nausea and vomiting occurred. 

Only when he went to see a doctor did he know that it was chronic prostatitis. Indiscriminate use of drugs has led to the disorder of the prostatic flora.

Although the symptoms of prostatitis and venereal diseases are similar, they are essentially different. The typical symptoms of prostatitis are frequent urination, urgent urination, abdominal distension, and venereal diseases, which are often accompanied by urethral tingling and a foul odor. 

The safest way is to spend tens of yuan to do a urine routine and prostatic fluid examination, and then treat after a definite diagnosis.

Misconception 3: "As long as you kill the germs, the disease will be completely cured." 

80% of patients think that prostatitis is a common inflammation, relying on antibiotics to kill bacteria. The bacteria temporarily disappear, and they stop taking drugs and soon relapse, falling into the "treatment-relapse" cycle. 

This is like a moldy wall, only wiping the mildew without removing the moisture, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Antibiotics can kill bacteria, but the prostate's antibacterial function has been damaged; if you do not repair this layer of "protective shield," new bacteria will still invade.

My doctor friend said that half of the chronic prostatitis patients he treated were due to the initial abuse of antibiotics, which led to the development of prostate resistance. Later, during regular treatment, many drugs did not work. Therefore, treatment should not only focus on "killing bacteria" but also on repairing the normal function of the prostate.

In this regard, Chinese patent medicines such as the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill developed by Dr. Li's clinic have their unique advantages. Unlike antibiotics, it only targets bacteria but can regulate the whole body, help clear heat and promote diuresis, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, while removing residual inflammation, slowly repair the damaged prostate antibacterial barrier, and improve the internal environment of the prostate. 

Only in this way can we reduce the possibility of recurrence from the root and restore the prostate to a healthy state.

Misconception 4: "Prostatitis can not be cured; simply give up on lifelong disease." 

"Three years of treatment is not good; this disease is lifelong." Many patients will fall into this despair after repeated ineffective treatment, and prostatitis will be classified as a "lifelong disease." 

This stems from two problems: credulous informal institutions and indiscriminate treatment without accurate diagnosis. Spending tens of thousands of yuan on folk prescriptions and physical therapy is ineffective; chronic prostatitis requires long-term treatment, and many people stop taking medicine as soon as their symptoms are relieved, without completing the course of treatment.

In fact, the survival rates of prostatitis are very high; regular hospital statistics show that, as the standard treatment, more than 80% of patients can fully recover. I know an uncle in his 50s who suffered from chronic prostatitis for two years. After changing three hospitals, he worked out a plan of "Chinese patent medicine conditioning and life improvement" in the urology department of a third-class hospital.

Among them, the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is used from Dr. Li's clinic, and it was taken for three months according to the course of treatment. At the same time, the uncle quit smoking and drinking and worked and rested regularly. 

Now, not only have the symptoms of frequent urination and urgent urination disappeared, but his prostate function has also returned to normal during the review. So don't give up easily; choosing the right treatment ideas and drugs and sticking to them is the key.

Misconception 5: "Indiscriminately seek medical advice and change dressings; there is always one that can work." 

Some patients are eager to recover and frequently change hospitals, change drugs, and change three treatment options a month, which makes the condition more complicated. 

Prostatitis is divided into bacterial, aseptic, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and other types, and the treatment methods are quite different. Bacteria need antibiotics, but antiseptic antibiotics hurt the body. Frequent changes in the program will lead to inconsistent treatment, and doctors cannot accurately judge the condition.

The correct way is to fix the urology or andrology doctor of the regular hospital, follow the medical supervision after a comprehensive examination, and if there is no effect in a month or two, communicate with the doctor to adjust the plan; do not toss about on your own.

Conclusion 

Prostatitis is not only a common male disease, but treatment needs to choose the right method, patience, and perseverance; it cannot be a quick success and instant benefit.

The majority of males, be sure to pay attention to body signals; do not be misled by misconceptions. Prostatitis can be completely cured by going to regular hospitals, listening to professional advice, cooperating with treatment, and adjusting living habits. Health is always the first.
