Is prostatitis caused by psychological diseases? Prostatitis is a disease with Chinese characteristics. There are not so many patients with prostatitis in European and American countries. In the health column of foreign media, prostate cancer is the most discussed, and prostatitis is rarely reported.
In the domestic andrology clinic, prostatitis patients are overcrowded. What's more strange is that these patients are very difficult to cure. Therefore, even male doctors are embarrassed to say that prostatitis, like a cold, is difficult to cure and easy to relapse. Why? Prostatitis is difficult to treat because most of them are accompanied by psychological problems.
A recognized fact is that more than 80% of patients with chronic prostatitis will have some mental and psychological disorders, such as insomnia, dreaminess, forgetfulness, decreased energy, depression, pessimism and disappointment, easy fatigue, tension, anxiety and depression. Among them, 20% ~ 50% of patients are serious, with impotence, premature ejaculation and even suicidal tendency. These symptoms make chronic prostatitis complex, difficult to treat or easy to relapse, and become an important reason for the delay of the disease.
Research shows that most patients with chronic prostatitis who have not been cured for a long time have a 'pre disease character'. Most of these patients are introverted, sensitive, suspicious and even slightly neurotic. Once they suffer from chronic prostatitis or some abnormal feelings, they will be worried and overwhelmed all day. They often pay too much attention to the harm of the disease to the human body, worry that chronic prostatitis will affect their sexual function and fertility, worry that their disease is a sexually transmitted disease, worry that prostatitis may turn into cancer, etc. The patient's attention is focused on one or some symptoms, and enlarges his feeling, entering a vicious circle and can't extricate himself; Patients worry too much about their physical feelings, and excessive attention can make the discomfort more obvious; Due to the lack of correct scientific knowledge, patients often mistake some normal physiological reactions for abnormal pathological signs, and worry too much for a long time will form fixed symptoms.
