Prostatitis refers to a group of diseases characterized by inflammatory reactions in prostate tissue, which can be caused by infections as well as non-infectious factors such as stress and immune dysfunction. It is common in young and middle-aged men but can also affect older populations. Symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, perineal discomfort, and decreased sexual function. The disease tends to recur, impacting fertility and quality of life. Based on etiology and manifestations, prostatitis is classified as acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, chronic non-bacterial, and asymptomatic prostatitis.
Western Countries
In Western countries, the consultation rate for prostatitis is high. In the United States, about 10% of urology outpatients present with prostatitis. Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is the most common type, accounting for more than 90% of all cases.
Southeast Asian Countries
In Southeast Asian countries such as China, Thailand, and Malaysia, the incidence of prostatitis is rising annually, with younger populations being particularly affected. Sedentary lifestyles, spicy diets, and work-related stress are the main contributing factors.
1. Reduced Fertility
The prostate secretes important components of semen. Long-term inflammation can impair semen quality and sperm motility, leading to infertility.
2. Sexual Dysfunction
Inflammation causes pelvic nerve sensitivity, often leading to premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and decreased libido, negatively impacting sexual life.
3. Emotional and Psychological Distress
Chronic pain and recurrent episodes often cause anxiety and depression, affecting daily life and social interactions.
4. Induction of Urinary System Diseases
If untreated, prostatitis may lead to ascending infections of the bladder and kidneys, resulting in cystitis, pyelonephritis, and other complications.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy works by repairing local prostate tissue, suppressing chronic inflammatory responses, modulating the immune system, and improving pelvic nerve function. It gradually relieves symptoms and enhances quality of life, especially in patients with recurrent episodes or those unresponsive to conventional treatments.
① Improves local microcirculation in the prostate and promotes tissue repair.
② Reduces immune-mediated inflammation and slows disease progression.
③ Restores nerve function, alleviating pain and urinary discomfort.
④ Potentially improves semen quality and enhances fertility.
⑤ Reduces dependence on antibiotics, providing more stable long-term results.
1. Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for acute or chronic bacterial prostatitis. Fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines are commonly used, with sufficiently long treatment courses to prevent recurrence.
2. Alpha-Blockers
These drugs help relieve muscle tension in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urinary difficulties. They are often used as adjuncts in chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Physical Therapy
Herbal medicines that clear heat and dampness or promote blood circulation are effective in symptom relief. Combined with heat therapy, physiotherapy, and acupuncture, these methods help with long-term management.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
Patients are advised to avoid prolonged sitting, manage diet, and exercise moderately. Emotional regulation and a regular routine also help reduce recurrence of chronic prostatitis.
5. Psychological Support Therapy
For prostatitis aggravated by anxiety or stress, psychological counseling or behavioral therapy may be used to alleviate excessive nervous system responses.
6. Immunomodulatory Therapy
Some chronic prostatitis patients have immune abnormalities. Modulating immune responses, such as T-cell function intervention, may reduce recurrence from the root cause.
Although prostatitis is common, improper or delayed treatment can lead to chronic conditions that seriously affect male health. Experts at United Life International Medical Center highlight that stem cell therapy combined with multidimensional interventions offers patients a more reliable path to recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment remain the key to effective management.
