ProstatitisOur View on Prostatitis
The prostatitis medical team in our prostatitis center has devoted themselves in the research and treatment of chronic prostatitis for more than fifteen years and has accessed first-hand huge amount of clinical and lab data on prostatitis patients, and using them to make a final analysis of the causes of prostatitis and prostate infection.
The medical team believes that prostatitis is a composite disease from multiple disease-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia and fungi. The major prostatitis pathogenic mechanism are caused by the following multiple complex prostatitis symptoms: hyperaemia and swelling, blockage of outflow of prostate fluid and semen, blockage in glands of various organs, irritation and compression in the neighboring blood vessels and nerves, toxin produced from microorganisms and stretch reflexes from blockage.
Standards of diagnosis and cure of chronic prostatitis
There are five major groups of clinical symptoms of chronic prostatitis:
1. Prostatitis symptom => Urethra symptoms: urgent and frequent urination, sensation of not emptying bladder, urine dripping, small/weak urine stream, split urine, blood in urine, thick urine, itchy and burning sensation in urethra, urinary retention, difficult starting urination, urine stream, pain or burning during urination, split urinary stream, blood in urine/milky urine, blood in urine/milky urine, discharge at tip of urethra, etc.
2. Prostatitis symptom => Pain or discomfort: discomfort in perineum, bloated pain in anus, pain in lower back, bloated pain in lower abdomen, sore in both legs, pain during ejaculation, cold scrotum, chronic pelvic pain, cold/damp scrotum, chronic pelvic pain, pain during/after ejaculation, aching and weak lower limbs, pain in perineum, bloated pain in rectum area, bloated Pain in testicles, pain in groin area, etc.
3. Prostatitis symptom => Sexual problems: reduced sexual libido, abnormal erection, impotence, premature ejaculation, wet dream, blood in semen, sterile, infertility, pain during/after ejaculation, spermatorrhea, etc.
4.Prostatitis symptom => Neurasthenia symptoms: headache, insomnia, nightmare, poor memory, weak body, etc.
5.Prostatitis symptom => Complication: could induce rear urethra infection, cystitis, vesiculitis, vas deferens infection, epididymitis, etc. spermatic/sperm duct/testicle inflammation.
If one or two prostate symptoms appear, you should go to your local hospital for examination on prostatitis. During EPS examination, make note of the chronic pevlic pain when doctor presses it. Pain in the prostate is an indicator of the inflammation of prostatitis.
Make yourself familiar with the prostatitis EPS report. It has two major prostatitis indicators: Lecithin (the normal level should be above 75% (+++)), White blood cells (the normal level should be less than 10/HP, WBC count more than 10 indicates inflammation of prostatitis.
However, in the case of some nonbacterial prostatitis patient, the EPS examination may show normal, thus a comprehensive microbiology examination is needed to identify pathogens that cause prostatitis. It includes bacteria culture, ureaplasma and mycoplasma culture, Chlamydia examination and yeast examination to find out the cause of prostatitis infection.
It would be best to have ultrasound scan check on prostatitis patients so that the doctor could diagnose more accurately from this report and EPS exam the size and texture of the prostate, presence of fibrosis, calcification and stones, thus have more accurate results of your prostatitis condition. Additional semen check is also helpful for prostatitis cases with complications of epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis and sterile problems.
Prostatitis
Analysis of prostatitis symptoms:
Genitourinary system includes prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, urethra and epididymis and are closely connected in a cavity. Since prostatitis inflammation usually develops into the whole genitourinary system, the best approach of prostatitis cure is a systematic treatment to cover all infected areas. If vas deferens, which is longer than 10 cm, has chronic inflammation, it could cause pain in the groin area, epididymis, sacrum and thigh areas.
Research found almost 80% prostatitis patients also have chronic inflammation in seminal vesicles (seminal vesiculitis), vas deferens (deferentitis) and epididymis (epididymitis) at the same time, in addition to prostate infection. Even they have prostatitis treated, they still have symptoms in those areas. And recurrence is very likely in these prostatitis cases. That is the reason why urologists get confused and prostatitis patients have so much pain and frustration. And it is also the reason that the medical field use a new name called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) to replace Chronic Prostatitis.
It is not sufficient to diagnose the degree of prostate infection based only on the EPS reports and prostatitis symptoms unless a full spectrum of microorganism tests and pathologic analysis is done on each prostatitis patients.
In sum, prostatitis patient should judge the degree of seriousness of their prostatitis based on microbiologic and morphologic exams of prostate, also with consideration on prostatitis clinical symptoms and EPS examination.Clinical Diagnosis of Chronic Prostatitis and Pathogeny
of Prostate Infection
Prostatitis Test (Prostate): White blood cells 10-15/HP. Lecithin +++. Ultrasound: Prostate is swollen, inequality on both sides of prostate, with blockage, even calcified. These prostatitis patients are most likely infected by one or more of the following bacteria, Chalmydia, Mycoplasma, fungi and Trichomonad.
Prostatitis Symptoms: Frequent urination, urgent urination, urinary retention, pain or burning urination, milky urine, perineum pain, bloated pain in lower abdomen, bloated pain in rectal area, chronic pelvic pain. Presence of one or more indicates chronic prostatitis.Prostatitis: Infection of Seminal Vesicles
Prostatitis Test (Semen): WBC 5/HP, some red blood cells. Bad sperm mobility. Ultrasound: Seminal Vesicles are swollen. Some serious cases have calcified Seminal Vesicles. These patients are most likely infected by Chalmydia, Mycoplasma and bacteria.
Prostatitis Symptoms: Color of semen is light yellow, sometimes blood in semen. Longer liquefying time and hard grain in semen, pain during/after ejaculation, reduced sexual desire, pain in upper thighs, pain in lower waist.
Prostatitis: Infection of Vas Deferens and Epididymis
Prostatitis Test: Bad semen quality. WBC count is not high. Thick vas deferens, thick epididymis and pain when press. Some serious prostatitis cases have swollen lump in epididymis. These prostatitis patients are most likely infected by Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and Escherichia.
Prostatitis Symptoms: Pain in testicles, pain in groin area, pain in upper thighs, pain in waist, weak ejaculation.
Chlamydia & Mycoplasma
There are many types of Chlamydia and Mycoplasma. In most prostatitis cases, Chlamydia Trachomatis, Ureaplasma Urealyticum, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Mycoplusma Hominis are pathogens of chronic nonbacterial urethritis, chronic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, deferentitis, epididymitis.
The path of prostatitis infection is through respiratory tract or urinary tract. Male prostatitis patients have a lot of symptoms including redness of anterior urethra, hotness, itch and pain in urethra, perineum pain, groin pain and epididymis pain. Mycoplasma causes prostate calcification and prostate blocking which are hard to treat in many prostatitis patients.
Female patients may have urethritis and cervicitis. 70% female patients (sex partners of prostatitis patients) have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. Cervicitis patients usually have inflammation, erosion, light yellow leucorrhea, and more leukorrhea than normal. Female patients may also have pelvic inflammatory disease, uteritis, and infertility.
Chalmydia and Mycoplasma infection has been a hot topic in diagnose and treatment of infertility. Research shows that 50% of infertility patients have been infected by Chalmydia and Mycoplasma. It is the main pathogen of extrauterine pregnancy and infertility in many countries. Prostatitis and infertility have a very close relationship.
To diagnose prostatitis cases for chronic Mycoplasma infection, semen needs to be collected and cultured. PCR test sometimes is not correct. Blood sample is collected for diagnosis of Chlamydia infection. All samples must be collected for stringent lab tests for cause of prostatitis.
Treatment of gynecologic inflammation with prostatitis protocol
The inflammation of women reproductive system is very common, particularly in sex partners of prostatitis patients. According to statistics, 70% of the adult women have gynaecologic inflammation in various degrees. Such as the vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammation. These symptoms are just like the male prostatitis symptoms.
Instead of using needles and syringe just like treating prostatitis, antibiotics mixture is injected into targeted focus through vagina using small plastic tubes. Injection diffuses into the focus and forms a high concentration, eradicate pathogens and unclog obstructed tubes and glands, without damaging the tissues. Female treatment is much easier than prostatitis treatment. Gynecologic inflammation, including vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammation can be cured in about 30 days. Female could get the treatment done at home after their male partners have prostatitis treatment done.
Comparison with other prostatitis treatment methods:
Intraprostatic injections is a pretty new treatment for prostatitis. It is performed by a few prostatitis doctors in Italy and United States. However, it has very limited success because the shots couldn’t reach every infected area and also it doesn’t take into the consideration of blockage from prostatitis.
Oral antibiotics treatment for prostatitis has effects only in acute state of prostatitis without blocking and calcification but totally ineffective on prostatitis cases with blocking and calcification because antibiotics have very poor penetration ability into the infected area of prostatitis. In addition, long term oral antibiotics to treat prostatitis could cause damage in liver, kidney and stomach, promoting antibiotics resistance and stubborn bacteria, causing bacteria imbalance and increase chances of endogenous infection to the prostatitis patient.
Prostate massage treatment for prostatitis is helpful to prevent blocking of prostate, but it doesn't work for prostatitis patients already having blockage and calcification. It cannot eradicate pathogens so it only can be used as assistant treatment for prostatitis.
A-adrenergic blocker, physical therapy and herbal medicine only can release prostatitis symptoms temporarily. Most prostatitis patients have their prostatitis symptoms returned after they stop these prostatitis treatments. So these treatments cannot heal prostatitis patients completely.
