Although more than 30 million men in the world suffer from prostatitis that negatively affects their quality of life, most men don’t know why is prostatitis so stubborn. Now let Doc. Lee, the famous medical expert on the treatment of prostatitis in China, tell you the facts and myths about prostatitis and its treatment.
Main Types and Causes of Prostatitis:
A variety of causes can result in congestion, edema and hypertrophy of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is very vulnerable to some unfavorable conditions. For example, the prostate gland may congest and swell because of the stimulation of microbial infection of the prostate gland or some bad living habits, such as sedentary, prolonged standing and constipation, which will probably lead to the onset of prostatitis.
According to western medicine, there are two types of prostatitis, that is, bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Since urethritis often initially infects the prostate gland, and then it will go on infecting the seminal vesicle, epididymis, testis, bladder, renal pelvis and so on, 60% of the patients with bacterial prostatitis are also attacked by vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and urethritis. Non-bacterial prostatitis is the result of the partial congestion, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the prostate gland which is caused by the bad lifestyle such as sedentary, prolonged standing and constipation.
Myths about treatment of prostatitis with western medicine:
1. Long-term use of antibiotics doesn’t have curative effect on prostatitis. According to the results of the laboratory tests, the Prostatitis patients can learn that they are infected with the following bacteria such as E. coli, streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus, diphtheroid bacillus, blue-pus bacillus, bacillus proteus, klebsiella, chlamydia, mycoplasma or gonorrhea. Some patients themselves would take antibiotics to treat their disease; as we all know, long-term use of antibiotics would produce bacterial resistance and tolerance to drugs. According to relevant knowledge on anatomy, we learned that as the lipid membrane of the prostatic acini acts as a barrier, most kinds of antibiotics can’t penetrate through it.
Therefore, the treatment of prostatitiswith Western medicine is surely ineffective.
2. Facts and myths about Acute Prostatitis. Actually, acute prostatitis can be healed very quickly by western medicine if the condition is diagnosed timely. However, for some reason, many patients with acute prostatitis can’t receive a systematic treatment, thereby developing into chronic prostatitis. Even the advanced western medicine can hardly cure chronic prostatitis, making it a worldwide medical problem.
3. Husband and wife should be treated simultaneously.
As bacterial prostatitis is highly infectious, if both of the couple is not treated at the same time, the disease will definitely recur time and again even though some patients have been cured due to timely treatment. Therefore, to prevent cross infection, husband and wife should be treated simultaneously.
According to the above facts and myths about the treatment of prostatitis, every prostatitis patient should be awared that taking traditional Chinese medicine is their only chance of getting rid of prostatitis. And don’t forget both of the couple need to be treated simultaneously.
