Prostatitis Treatment Cures BPH, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
BPH, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia/Hypertrophy and Prostatitis
BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, is the enlargement of the prostate, and is viewed as non infectious or has nothing to do with prostatitis. In fact, doctors in our clinic have found evidence that many cases of BPH, or benign prostatic hypertrophy, are actually caused by prostatitis.
When there is presence of symptoms of enlarged prostate, it may not be necessarily BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia. If there is symptoms of infection, you are likely have prostatitis too. Distinguishing prostatitis from BPH often is difficult as the lab test for prostatitis is not sensitive enough and incomplete.
Instead of herbal medicine such as Quercetin and Saw Palmetto, our treatment uses prostatic injections, antibiotics and herbal medicine to cure BPH and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Antibiotics penetrate deep inside the prostate and eradicate infection while herbal medicine softens, break up and remove the blockage that forms swollen prostate. Once most blockage is removed, symptoms of BPH are greatly reduced or gone.
Diagnosis of BPH, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, and Prostatitis
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is the medical term for prostate enlargement.
The prostate grows when there is bacteria. The growth starts with the blockage formation from bacteria metabolism. The infection can be severe and acute that is clearly noticeable or it could be very subtle and mild that it is not easy to notice.
In some cases, BPH is caused by unhealthy habits or lifestyles. For instance, prolonged erection without ejaculation that traps large amount of prostate fluid in the prostate, or sitting for a long time disrupting blood circulation in the prostate, or bad personal hygiene that introduces some germs from head of penis.
The last factor is STD related. Some pathogens such as Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, and other common bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, Trichomonas, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, Corynebacteria., may infect the prostate through sexual contacts. The prostate is always infected and enlarged.
Treatment of Prostatitis to cure Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
The treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is relatively simple compared with that for prostatitis. Herbal medicine plays the major role in the shrinking process. Antibiotics is for infection only and has no effect on BPH.
Treating BPH, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a lot easier to treat than prostatitis although it usually takes more time to dissolve the blockage than infection. Infection of benign prostatic hyperplasia is usually mild and simple with less complications. On the other hand, prostatitis usually come with epididymitis, seminal vesicles infection, spermatic duct infection.
Internal Cause of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)
Internal cause of benign prostatic hypertrophy means the bacteria originates from the body itself. The prostate is a place where various good bacteria reside in balance whereas for prostatitis, bacteria is either STD related or introduced externally through unprotected sex or physical contact.
Chinese Herbal Medicine to Shrink the Enlarged Prostate
A special formula of Chinese herbal medicine is used to shrink the enlarged prostate. Our clinical experience shows that it can effectively dissolve particles of the blockage and waste stuck in the enlarged prostate, although it may take a long time for severe cases.
The Chinese herbal medicine works completely different from western herbal medicine of Quercetin and Saw Palmetto. It only dissolves the particles of inorganic waste and blockage that was not part of the tissue of the prostate.
The treatment is not in oral form. A unique prostatic injection is administered near the anus area, bypassing the rectum and colon, straight to the prostate. This non-invasive treatment is an ingenious yet simple way to shrink the prostate and cure BPH.
Treatment for Infections of BPH
Although reducing the size of the prostate is one of the goals of our injection treatment, eradication of infections is also very important when treating BPH. Incomplete treatment on leave it untreated will cause the prostate growth process to start again as bacteria grow back.
The treatment eradicates infections by administering prostatic injection to the prostate with antibiotics solution. This way, all medicine are fully used in the prostate and greatly enhance antibiotic concentration, resulting in much higher cure rate than oral antibiotics.
Distinction between Prostatitis and BPH
Most doctors view the cause of BPH is the tissue growth and not related to infection, so they suggest it is safe to have sex with sex partner without condom. Herbal prescriptions such as Saw Palmetto and Quercetin are the most common herbal medicine for BPH. However, if BPH is caused by infection, these herbal medicines will not work. In fact, many cases of prostatitis are misdiagnosed as BPH and therefore mistreated because the pattern of symptoms are quite similar.
Treatment for Prostatitis with BPH (Enlarged or Swollen Prostate)
Prostatitis and BPH Consultation Session
Before treatment, our doctor will have a thorough and comprehensive consultation with the patient. Medical history, symptoms and pain are discussed. The doctor will also examine whether there are signs of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you have brought with you documents of lab tests, treatments and diagnosis from your doctors, it is also a good reference. However, a comprehensive treatment is also needed for all new patients as our lab test is much more accurate and comprehensive.
Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)
After consultation, our doctor will examine your prostate with gloved fingers. He will press on different parts of the prostate to spot swelling and hardening, and he examines the size of the prostate to evaluate severity of enlargement. An enlarged and infected prostate will cause intense pain when the finger is pressed. For severe cases with many years of history, it is common to have calcifications, cysts, lumps, fibrosis.
Collection of Prostate Fluid from Penis
An important task of digital rectal exam is to collect a few drops of prostate fluid from the prostate. This is done with the doctor vigorously massaging the prostate to force prostate fluid out into the urethra. A container is placed near the head of penis to collect the fluid. This procedure is extremely painful as the infected tissue is sensitive to the tremendous pressure from the finger.
Laboratory Tests and Examinations for BPH and Prostatitis
The lab tests for BPH and prostatitis are blood test, culture tube test and culture plate test. Blood test is for Chlamydia, HPV, HSV, CMV, and Coxsackie Virus, etc, culture tube is for ureaplasma urealyticum, mycoplasma genitalium, mycoplasma hominus, while culture plate is for a list of common bacteria such as Trichomonas, Corynebacteria, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, etc.
The doctor will also examine the prostate fluid with a microscope. He will look for white blood cells, red blood cells, particles from the blockage, color and clarity of the fluid. Large amount of white blood cells indicates the infection is mainly from the list of common bacteria, small amount of white blood cells indicates the infection is from Chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma or virus.
Semen Analysis
Semen also tells the condition of BPH and prostatitis. The doctor will examine semen and sperms. Yellow semen indicates infection in the seminal vesicles and the prostate, bloody semen indicates enlargement and calcifications in the seminal vesicles. Sperm quality tells the severity of infection and blockage in the prostate. Volume of semen tells the severity of blockage in epididymis and spermatic ducts.
It is common for a prostate with BPH or prostatitis to have low sperm count, weak sperm mobility, delayed semen liquefaction and other symptoms.
Prostatitis and BPH Treatment with Prostatic Injection
The first step of the treatment is to find out the exact cause of pathogens. After the pathogens are identified in the lab, you are ready for the treatment to cure BPH and prostatitis. The doctor will inject in a spot near the anus where it bypasses the rectum and colon directly to the prostate. This technique is unique and safe.
Antibiotics and Herbal Medicine for BPH and Prostatitis
The medicine solution consists of both antibiotics and herbal medicine for eradication of infections and blockage, respectively. The choice of antibiotics depends on the type of pathogens found. The proportion between antibiotics and herbal medicine administered relates to the course of the treatment. Both antibiotics and herbal medicine are administered starting the first day of treatment so that both anti-infection and unblocking processes can start working asap.
Procedure of Prostatic Injection Treatment
The medicine solution is prepared daily customed to the changing condition of the prostate and the treatment progress. The doctor injects to the prostate from behind while the patient bends over. Before injection, his other finger needs to insert to the rectum first for accurate positioning. A spot with most pain or symptoms is always picked for injection.
Pain Management After Treatment
Although prostatic injection sounds scary in the beginning, it is actually a very simple and safe procedure. Pain from the shot is manageable by most patients. It is a good idea to have a slow walk immediately after treatment to relieve some pain sensations and help blood circulation in the prostate, and the pain will be reduced in a few hours in most cases.
Urethral Perfusion - Assistant Treatment for Prostatitis and BPH
Urethral perfusion means putting medicine solution to the urethra cavity and the prostate through the head of penis. Medicine solution diffuses into the prostate and the urethra and cure infection and blockage. It is suitable for benign prostatic hyperplasia cases with severe urinary symptoms such as frequent urination. It is an ideal treatment for UTI, urinary tract infections, or urethritis.
Rectal Perfusion - Assistant Treatment for Prostatitis and BPH
When rectum is also infected and inflamed by BPH or prostatitis, it is called proctitis. Proctitis needs to be treated if it is severe. Symptoms of proctitis include burning rectum, inflamed rectum, hard stool, difficult to pass stool, blood in stool, etc. Chinese medicine solution is injected to the rectum through a catheter and absorbed by the membrane of the rectum. The treatment cures infection and inflammation in the rectum, and it softens stools too.
Magnetic Massage - Assistant Treatment for Prostatitis and BPH
BPH, or benign prostatic hypertrophy, is always caused by blockage, calcifications, lumps and cysts, magnetic massage is an efficient way to loosen these structures physically. This assistant treatment helps break up the particles of obstruction and speed up unblocking process.
