Prostatitis is a condition that afflicts many individuals, and recurrent episodes can occur even after undergoing treatment.
What factors contribute to the challenge of managing prostatitis successfully?
1. Diminished Immunity
The typical treatment for prostatitis often involves antibiotic therapy. Repeated antibiotic use can compromise the immune system, resulting in reduced immunity. A weakened immune system is more susceptible to various pathogens, increasing the likelihood of prostatitis recurrence and complicating the treatment process.
Proper exercise during treatment is essential to maintain resistance and prevent prostatitis relapse. Engaging in daily exercise and using antibiotics judiciously is critical to safeguard immune strength.
2. Improper Sexual Habits
In cases of acute bacterial prostatitis, symptoms may worsen with continued frequent sexual activity. Even with medication, achieving a complete recovery can be challenging. During prostatitis treatment, failing to control sexual frequency can lead to ongoing prostate congestion and swelling, exacerbating prostatitis.
Furthermore, engaging in unclean sexual practices or having multiple partners can elevate the risk of germs causing urinary tract infections and prostatitis. It is crucial to moderate sexual activity to prevent prostatitis resulting from improper sexual behavior. If necessary, using condoms during sexual activity is advisable to prevent retrograde infections caused by pathogenic bacteria.
3. Prolonged Sitting
Prolonged sitting should be avoided in individuals with prostatitis. Extended periods of sitting, especially while straddling, exert significant pressure on the prostate, leading to pronounced edema in the prostate and pelvic region. This pressure results in an excessive accumulation of local metabolites, leading to the blockage of the prostate duct and the inability to excrete prostate fluid promptly. This, in turn, triggers prostatitis.
Certain professions, such as taxi drivers, service industry workers, office employees, or IT professionals who sit for extended durations, are more prone to pelvic compression and congestive edema, which can induce prostatitis. Prostatitis patients who have a habit of prolonged sitting should adopt measures to reduce such actions and mitigate long-term pelvic cavity compression.
4. Poor Dietary Habits
Diet plays a significant role in inducing prostatitis. Long-term consumption of spicy and irritating foods, along with tobacco and alcohol use, can cause significant congestion and expansion of blood vessels in the urethra and prostate. This promotes inflammation, which can persist even with active treatment if patients continue with an unhealthy diet. During treatment and recovery, patients must adjust their dietary habits to avoid irritants.
Choosing natural medicine such as the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can be a viable option for prostatitis patients who do not respond well to antibiotics. This traditional Chinese medicine formula can help alleviate symptoms, address underlying causes, and achieve a complete cure. It does not lead to drug resistance, making it suitable for long-term use.
