Are you having problems urinating at the age of 26? Doctors reveal the three major dangers of "chronic prostatitis": treating erectile dysfunction too late
If young men experience difficulty in urinating, perineal pain, or even erectile dysfunction leading to sexual difficulties, they should be aware that the prostate may have become “inflamed”! Dr. Xie Kunlin, the attending physician of the Department of Urology at Chi Mei Hospital, pointed out that a 26-year-old man who was previously treated said that for three years, he had experienced frequent inexplicable swelling and pain in his perineum, accompanied by testicular throbbing, and was always unable to clear his urine when urinating. Even though he tried a variety of drugs, he could not cure it.
Dr. Xie Kunlin said that the patient was engaged in art work and had to endure 5-6 days of pain every month; especially when the work was being rushed, the anxiety and staying up late made the whole person miserable. After differential examination, he was diagnosed with “chronic prostatitis”. After 2 months of active treatment, coupled with adjustments to his daily routine and stress relief, the patient finally got rid of chronic prostatitis and regained health.
Men who have difficulty urinating or unable to urinate should pay attention! 3 common problems with chronic prostate inflammation
Dr. Xie Kunlin explained that the incidence of “prostate inflammation” is no less common than “prostate hypertrophy” among the elderly, but it is less understood and taken seriously by men. Although prostatitis is not life-threatening, it may have a serious impact on the patient’s daily life. “The clinical manifestations of each patient are different, but almost all involve the ‘urinary system’ problem. If men do not pay attention to it, it may affect their virility and cause their little brothers to be ‘downcast’!”
Dr. Xie Kunlin pointed out that patients with chronic prostatitis may experience difficulty in urinating, frequent urination, and unclean urination, or may face long-term sexual function problems such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. What’s even more troublesome is that it may also cause discomfort in the lower body, including the lower abdomen, perineum, and even the scrotum and inner thighs. Some patients’ pain may even shift, and the pain points may be different every week.
“Patients often complain of discomfort including perineal swelling and pain, or an indescribable weird feeling. In severe cases, they may even feel restless. Since the above symptoms do not necessarily appear at the same time, it also increases the difficulty of diagnosis!” Dr. Xie Kunlin emphasized. , Chronic prostate inflammation is also one of the causes of “hematospermia” and “male infertility”. It accounts for a large proportion of male patients in the urology department and cannot be ignored.
Will staying up late and sitting for long periods of time affect “lower body health”? Three major treatment directions for chronic prostate cancer
As for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, Dr. Xie Kunlin pointed out that there is currently no standard treatment course, and the principle of treatment is to provide corresponding treatments according to different symptoms. There are three major directions in a simple summary: personalized drug treatment, lifestyle adjustments and low-energy extracorporeal shock waves.
First, a personalized combination of medications is tailored to the patient. There are 6 or 7 types of drugs with different mechanisms in drug treatment. The drugs suitable for each patient are different, so the patient must cooperate with the doctor to adjust the drugs, just like finding a set of martial arts that suits him and continuing to practice them, so that they will be effective.
The second is lifestyle adjustment, which is the key behavior for long-term improvement of prostatitis. Dr. Xie Kunlin explained that lifestyle adjustment is the first step in treatment. Just like the inner skills of martial arts, it must be integrated into daily life and adjusted. This is also the key to recurrence. Risk factors that worsen the disease include spicy food, sitting for long periods of time, abnormal bowel movements, etc. Some patients have reported poor sleep quality and symptoms will flare up in the next few days.
In general, increased life stress and sleep problems may cause pain symptoms, which in turn can have a negative impact on mental state, aggravate pain, and thus lead to a vicious cycle. Research also points out that patients with prostate inflammation are more susceptible to psychological stress. Therefore, lifestyle adjustments, including improving sleep, stress management, and modifying harmful factors and habits, are the key to improving chronic prostatitis.
Low-energy extracorporeal shock waves reduce pain in 80% of patients! Benefits of medical disclosure: The problem of “not taking medicine” is expected to be solved together
The last step is physical therapy. Chronic prostate inflammation is a disease that recurs repeatedly and is not easy to cure. In addition, some patients have very severe symptoms. Therefore, some patients need further physical therapy in order to effectively treat complex prostatitis.
Dr. Xie Kunlin explained that “low-energy extracorporeal shock wave” has good results. This technology is mainly used for chronic prostate inflammation or erectile dysfunction. Judging from clinical cases, after treating 27 patients with severe chronic inflammation of the prostate for a total of 90 sessions, about 80% of the patients improved their pain, including 5 young patients. Not only did the pain relieve, but their erectile function also improved to a certain extent. Progress has been made, and most of the patients are suffering from recurring severe pain and limited drug effects.
Finally, Dr. Xie Kunlin called on chronic prostate inflammation to have a wide range of impacts and is even more crucial to male sexual health. It is recommended that if you experience symptoms such as perineal pain and discomfort, difficulty in urinating or sexual dysfunction, you should consult a urologist as soon as possible to improve the symptoms of recurrent prostatitis through personalized medication, lifestyle adjustments and physical therapy. trouble.
