To treat prostatitis, Don’t be deceived by advertising
At present, there advertisements on the treatment of prostatitis among other things, there are many misleading, inconsistent with medical science, then often leads to some readers puzzled.
B-found acceptance of prostatitis treatment
Reader question:
Recently, I saw a newspaper in a tyranny of prostate disease, the hospital released ads. The ad said that now the proportion of men who have prostatitis is very high, many do not pay attention, though ill, but there is no timely treatment, resulting in various serious diseases, such as impotence, premature ejaculation and so on. Ad also said that their hospital could be diagnosed by B-prostatitis, prostatitis if it is to be treated immediately. The physical examination last month, I have prostatitis in B-tips, because I never had any symptoms, medical treatment doctors said that was unnecessary. However, after seeing the ad, especially when you hear that there are so many consequences, I am a bit scared, not knowing what to do.

With the B-ultrasound examination in the project to increase the prostate, prostatitis detection more and more, but that does not mean that patients need treatment. Sadly, as the reader can see in the ad, some doctors see the B-scan and as long as prostatitis, I do not know are ignorant, or driven by economic interests, the patient would be a “positive” treatment: intravenous drip antibiotics, physiotherapy, antibiotics and even within the prostate. Such over-treatment, not only for patients with multiple criticized for spending too, but also the psychological burden to patients, there symptoms of autonomic nerve dysfunction.
Some patients with symptoms of prostatitis usually does, B ultrasonic examination after an aid to diagnosis, attention, and make the necessary treatment. However, some people like the readers, in the B-ultrasonic examination before and asymptomatic, or occasional discomfort, does not affect the normal life. In this case, you do not need further examination and treatment. Even if there is a large number of inflammation in prostatic fluid cells, as long as patients had no subjective symptoms, can be diagnosed as asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis, without treatment. Usually the purpose of the treatment of chronic prostatitis, it just lifted the symptoms, improve quality of life, but not completely cure. Therefore, B-ultrasonic examination found that, after prostatitis, as long as there is no subjective symptoms, the patient did not have to further examination, treatment, and should not psychological burden, because the ad said, “prostatitis is not treated in time will lead to impotence, premature ejaculation and other diseases” No scientific basis for such, but is suspected of intimidation, do not ignore.
Whether the number of white blood cells as a “barometer”
Reader question:
I saw on television an advertisement relating to prostatitis. Advertising a film called “experts” said that the severity of prostatitis in prostatic fluid can be measured by the number of white blood cells, and their hospitals through a unique technique to quickly reduce the number of white blood cells in prostatic fluid. I am suffering from bacterial prostatitis, is a University Hospital according to the local doctor’s guidance, taking antibiotics. Feeling much better now the symptoms, but the inspection found that more white blood cells in prostatic fluid. My current treatment method is right thing to do, you do not say it to your ad in the hospital for the treatment?
Zhidianmijin:
Normal prostatic fluid in the number of white blood cells do not fully reflect the severity of prostatitis. For example, in non-inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (a type of chronic prostatitis), the prostatic fluid in the diagnosis of non-existence of the white blood cells, the symptoms very striking. While in asymptomatic chronic prostatitis, the patients had no subjective symptoms, prostatic fluid, there exists a large number of white blood cells. In addition, there are many pit prostate, prostate localized infection may cause some of them involved only a blockage of the gland duct. For prostate massage, the infected foci of prostatic fluid can not flow due to duct blockage, while the drop out with no prostatic fluid comes from infected glands. Therefore, the clinical encounter some patients with prostatic fluid may be normal in the white blood cell count normal, but the prostate localized tenderness, swelling and signs of very striking. On the contrary After treatment, the tubular plug flow, and symptoms were relieved, and the white blood cells in prostatic fluid may even have increased.
So, do not put a single laboratory on the number of white blood cells in prostatic fluid as a “barometer.” If the symptoms were relieved after treatment, or even disappear, in prostatic fluid white blood cell count actually increased, this may not mean sicker, but rather to clear the blocked duct, and the disease improved performance. At this point just need to continue taking the antibiotic treatment, prostatitis will be cured. Therefore, readers who do not have to worry about due to increased number of white blood cells. Can not easily believe that a number of scientific words and stop the correct diagnosis and treatment.
