Patient's question:
Dad got prostatitis many years ago. He didn't know how serious it was back then until now, when I am filial, I understand. This disease that has been recurring for over ten years and cannot be cured is prostatitis. Is prostatitis so difficult to treat? Can this be cured? It is said that only young men in their twenties get this disease, is that really true?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is difficult to treat mainly because:1. The permeability of the gland is poor, making it difficult for antibiotics and other drugs to effectively penetrate and take effect.
2. Prostatic fluid is a component of semen, rich in nutrients, and the surrounding environment is also conducive to bacterial growth.
3. The prostate has abundant blood supply, but blood flow within the gland can only be completed through small veins, making it hard for bacteria and other harmful substances to be thoroughly cleared, thereby increasing the risk of infection.
4. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to bacterial resistance.
5. Inappropriate treatment of the prostate can cause scar formation in glandular tissue, which further complicates treatment.
