Inflammation refers to the damage of tissue cells, and immune cells will be activated, release inflammatory factors, and cause a local inflammatory response. The body can resist pathogens and repair tissue and cell damage locally. But if the body can not effectively control the inflammation, repeated attacks may lead to cancer. For example, chronic ulcerative colitis increases the risk of colorectal cancer, and hepatitis increases liver cancer risk. Helicobacter pylori will cause gastritis and increase the risk of gastric cancer, and so on. So, does chronic prostatitis not heal for a long time increase the risk of prostate cancer? Prostatitis refers to the testis or pelvic cavities' pain or discomforts, such as the small abdomen, perineum, and other places, abnormal urination such as frequent urination, urgent urination, dysuria, and so on. More than 90% of patients with prostatitis belong to chronic prostatitis. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor in the prostate tissue of men. More than 95% of prostate cancer occurs in prostate gland tissue (most pathological diagnosis is adenocarcinoma). The etiology of prostate cancer is mainly related to age (male over 60 years old), heredity, high animal fat diet, and high androgen level. Prostatitis is due to "external treatment factors," leading to a series of inflammatory reactions in prostate tissue. Prostate cancer is an "internal factor" that causes gene mutation and abnormal differentiation of prostate tissue cells. Therefore, chronic prostatitis does not cause prostate cancer. Chronic prostatitis is difficult to treat because of the long treatment cycle and slow improvement of symptoms. After a period of treatment, many people can not insist and choose to give up. When the symptoms worsen, start again. So repeatedly, eventually let their own physical and mental fatigue, loss of confidence in healing. Curing chronic prostatitis is not as difficult as you imagined. Mainly through the following two ways:rnDrug treatment: the treatment of chronic prostate should first observe the patient's symptoms and the trouble to the patient's life. If the problem is not significant, lifestyle treatment can also restore the patient's health. If your symptoms affect life, you may need traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, with a safer and more lasting effect, such as Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. The impact of antibiotics on acute prostatitis treatment, especially for bacterial prostatitis, is better, but chronic prostatitis treatment is not particularly ideal. By contraries, under the action of guiding medicine, Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can penetrate the prostate's membrane, its effective concentration can reach the lesion directly, remove genitourinary tract inflammation from the root, and restore the normal function of the prostate. Lifecare: keep a regular life. Don't abuse antibiotics. Avoid alcohol and eating less spicy food. Correct treatment of prostatitis should maintain a positive, healthy, and upward attitude. Drinking more water, not excessive holding urine, keep urination unobstructed is conducive to the discharge of prostate secretion. Pay attention to keep the perineum warm, avoid squeezing the perineum and prostate, and avoid wearing tight underwear if you are fat. Also, pay attention to daily life, develop good living habits, don't sit or ride for a long time to prevent excessive fatigue. Besides, suitable physical exercise is also helpful. For confirmed genitourinary infections, such as epididymitis, orchitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc., active treatment should be taken to ensure unobstructed urination to avoid secondary prostatitis.
