Prostate Complications
The prostate gland is a
walnut-sized gland located directly below the bladder in men. It
wraps around the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the
bladder. The prostate is a subsidiary gland organ in the male
genitourinary system. It is adjacent to the seminal vessels, vas
deferens, urethra, bladder and rectum. When the prostate disease
occurs, it is easy to affect the surrounding organs, resulting in
genitourinary dysfunction and some complex complications.
Prostatic disease has the
following common complications:
Epididymitis
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle aged males.
Most of patients who have epididymitis have chronic prostatitis as
well. Pathogens such as,Chlamydia, mycoplasma/ureaplasma, gonorrhea,
escherichia coli, streptococcus, and other pathogens move into the
epididymis through the spermatic duct and cause epididymitis. Thus,
epididymitis is most often a secondary disease of urethritis,
prostatitis and Vesiculitis. Epididymitis can also occur after
urethra instrumentation or long-term indwelling catheterization.
Clinically epididymitis
is divided into two types, acute epididymitis and chronic
epididymitis.
The attack of acute
epididymitis is quite fast. The acute epididymitis symptoms include
discomfort in the scrotum on the infected side, and strong pain and
inflammation in the local area. The pain can spread to the groin
area, lower abdomen, and be accompanied by a general discomfort and
fever. Physical examination: the epididymis is swollen with pain on
examination. When the patient has severe inflammation, the infection
will also cause swelling and produce a reddish color on the
testicle(s) and scrotum.
Chronic epididymitis is more common than acute epididymitis. Most of
patients who have chronic epididymitis also have chronic
prostatitis. They often do not have a history of acute epididymitis.
The chronic epididymitis symptoms include: pain in the scrotum
and/or testicle(s), floating pain, pain in the lower abdomen, and
pain inner side of the thigh. If a patient has chronic epididymitis
on both left and right sides, the amount of sperm will be reduced,
which can cause infertility. Physical examination: epididymis may
appear swollen, hardening, induration, tenderness, and/or the
homolateral spermatic duct is blocked and has thickened.
The 3D Targeted Treatment
for Epididymitis
Simple acute epididymitis
can often be completely cured within one week of 3D Targeted
Treatment. Acute epididymitis combined with acute prostatitis can
often be completely cured within two weeks of 3D Targeted Treatment.
Over the last 20 years, our cure rate for treating acute
epididymitis is 100%.
Chronic epididymitis
always coexists with chronic prostatitis. Both conditions must be
treated at the same time. The best treatment for these conditions is
our 3D Targeted Treatment. Just like our 3D Prostatitis Treatment,
our 3D Epididymitis Treatment involves the three critical factors:
(1) proper examination and laboratory testing to accurately identify
pathogens, (2) Targeted injection of the most effective antibiotics
into the epididymis infected areas to kill pathogens, and (3)
Targeted injection of the unblocking medicine into epididymal tubes
and clear blocked passageways.
Simple chronic epididymitis can often be completely cured within two
weeks of 3D Targeted Treatment Chronic epididymitis combined with
prostatitis can often be completely cured within four weeks of 3D
Targeted Treatment. Over the last 20 years, our cure rate for
treating chronic epididymitis is over 95%.
Seminal
Vesiculitis
Vesiculitis is the
inflammation of the seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles and the
prostate gland are anatomically neighbors. They are connected. By
means of a prostate massage the grape-sized seminal vesicles can be
touched over both sides of the prostate. The excretory tube of
seminal vesicle and the end of vas deferens converge and form
ejaculatory duct. This duct passes through the prostate into the
urethra. Because of their anatomical relationship, prostatitis
(prostate infection) is easily spread to the seminal vesicle, which
causes vesiculitis. Seventy Percent of prostatitis cases involves
vesiculitis. Once the seminal vesicles are infected, inflammatory
secretions are silt easily to form blockage in many of the mucosal
folds and turns. As a result, chronic vesiculitis occurs; cyst of
seminal vesicle form, and calcification of seminal vesicle wall
develop, etc.
The common pathogens of
vesiculitis are similar to those of prostatitis. These pathogens
include: bacteria, viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and fungi, etc.
Hemospermia:
Hemospermia (blood in
seminal fluid) is the main symptom of vesiculitis. Blood may appear
during urination and ejaculation. The pain commonly associated with
hemospermia occur in the abdomen and buttocks. This pain can radiate
to the groin, waist and back, and the root of thigh. The pain
symptoms can increase during or after ejaculation. Also, this
condition can be accompanied by low libido, premature ejaculation,
erectile dysfunction, and infertility, etc.
Routine examination of
seminal fluid often indicate: decreased volume, increased viscosity,
non-liquefaction, a large number of red blood cells, white blood
cells, and positive semen pathogen cultures. When performing a
digital rectal examination (DRE), seminal vesicle inflammation can
be felt. The swelling is often accompanied with significant pain
when pressing down on the glands. Through trans-rectal ultrasound,
swollen seminal vesicles, rough seminal vesicle walls, seminal
vesicle cysts, and calcification lesions of seminal vesicles can be
found.
Conventional treatment
methods (e.g., oral antibiotics, IV antibiotics, and intramuscular
antibiotic injection) present difficultly in curing vesiculitis with
these treatments showing a high failure rate.
In contrast, the 3D
Targeted Treatment for vesiculitis has obtained a cure rate of
greater than 95%. The 3D Targeted Treatment for seminal
vesicle infection consists of three elements: 1) A full set of
laboratory tests to accurately diagnose pathogens and lesion sites;
2) Targeted transperineal injections directly into the infected
seminal vesicle and lesion sites with the most effective antibiotics
for complete killing of the pathogens; 3) Targeted transperineal
injections directly into the seminal vesicle with unblocking
medicines for removing blockage, calcification, cysts, and lesions.
And, the discharging of toxins, blockage, and calcification
substances.
Cystitis
Cystitis is inflammation
of the bladder. Most of the time, bladder inflammation is caused by
bacterial infection. Common cystitis pathogens include: E. coli,
Paracolobacterium, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus
faecalis, Enterococcus, and Staphylococcus aureus. The Prostate is
located below the bladder. Pathogens from the prostate (as a result
of prostatitis, prostate inflammation, and prostate infection), can
retrograde through the prostatic urethra into the bladder to cause
cystitis. Prostatic hypertrophy, urinary tract obstruction, dysuria,
uric acid deposit, bladder stones, and increased residual urine in
the urinary bladder can also cause cystitis. And, prostate diseases
that cause urinary retention, and/or indwelling catheters as a
result of prostatectomy or prostate surgery can lead to cystitis.
Cystitis can be divided
into acute cystitis and chronic cystitis. Acute cystitis often
embodies sudden onset of symptoms, which include: burning and pain
in the urinary tract when urinating, urgent and frequent urination
(up to 5-6 times or more per hour), less reduced urinary volume (as
low as a few drops), lower abdominal pain at the end of urination,
turbid urine, hematuria, and mild pressing pain above the pubis and
in the bladder area.
Chronic cystitis symptoms
include those that reoccur and/or persist for a long time, such as,
urinary frequency, urgency, and pain when urinating. However, they
may not be as painful or seem as serious as in the acute phase.
According to the
patient’s history of urinary frequency, urgency, and pain when
urinating the routine examination of urine may indicate red blood
cells, pus cells, and/or bacterial cultures having more than 100,000
bacterial counts per milliliter of urine. This can gave a clear
diagnosis of cystitis.
For cystitis treatment
includes: drinking plenty of water (preferably two liters per day),
timely urination without holding back urine, and most importantly
antibiotic treatment, which is the main treatment of cystitis. When
antibiotic treatment is administered, the most effective antibiotics
should be selected through pathogen sensitive testing.
Cystitis caused by the
prostate disease can easily recur. The objective of the 3D Prostate
Targeted Treatment is to eliminate prostate disease and urinary
tract obstruction, thus reducing and eliminating cystitis, and
preventing recurrence. We are very successful in achieving this
objective safely and effectively.
Urethritis
Urethritis is very common
urinary tract infection. Urethritis is often classified as
non-gonococcal urethritis (the pathogens include:chlamydia
trachomatis, ureaplasma urealyticum, fungus, trichomonas vaginalis,
and herpes simplex virus, etc.),gonococcal urethritis is usually
caused by neisseria gonorrhoeae, and non-specific urethritis (the
most common pathogens are E coli, streptococcus, and
staphylococcus,etc).
Urethritis Causes
1) Sexual Activity: unprotected sex can cause urinary tract
infection.
2) Urethra injury: Injury
and/or scratch of the urethral mucosal caused by urethral equipment
inspection, etc., can cause bacterial infection.
3) Urethral obstruction: Obstructions, such as, urinary stone,
urethra stricture, urethral tumor, and prostate calcification can
cause urination difficulty and a secondary urinary tract infection.
4) Neighboring Infection: Inflammation and/or infection of
neighboring glands and/or organs, such as, prostatitis,seminal
vesiculitis, epididymitis, etc, cause urethritis. The inflammation
and infection will spread and affect the urethra. These are the most
common cause of urethritis.
Urethritis Symptoms
1) Urethral irritation
symptoms include: frequent urination, urgent urination, pain,
itching or burning sensation in the urethra.
2) The tip of urethra is
reddish and swollen; discharge; tenderness along the urethra.
3) Increased amount of white blood cells (WBC) and red blood cells
(RBC) in the urine. The first glass of urine shows abnormal result
in the three-glass test.
4) Causative pathogens are detected in urethral smears, semen,
prostate fluid, and/or blood samples.
Urethritis Treatment
1) Drink plenty of water, to increase the urine. Urination can flush
the urethral discharge.
2) Use antispasmodic sedative analgesic medicine to reduce the pain.
Use weak acid care solution to wash the vulva (women).
3) Rest, and avoid sexual contact during the acute period. No
alcohol and spicy food.
4) Identify the causative pathogens and take the proper antibiotic
treatment. Choose sensitive antibiotics according to the culture
result and sensitivity results.
3D Targeted Treatment for Urethritis
If the urethritis turns chronic urethritis and does not respond to a
normal course of proper oral antibiotic, then most likely the
infection of neighboring organs and/or glands is the cause of the
chronic urethritis. In this case it must be determined if
prostatitis, epididymitis,sexually transmitted disease STD, and/or
other genitourinary infection is the cause of the urethritis. If
this is the case, then the other infected areas must be pathogen
free, and blockage and/or calcification must be cleared to achieve
urethritis cure. The best treatment to accomplish is our 3D
Targeted Treatment, which includes 3D Urethritis Treatment. our 3D Urethritis
Treatment involves the three critical factors: (1) proper
examination and laboratory testing to accurately identify pathogens,
(2) direct injection of the most effective antibiotics and
unblocking medicine into the posterior urethral infected areas to
kill pathogens,and clear blocked passageways.(3)urethral filling or
bladder filling are helpful for patients who have stubborn
urethritis or bladder infection.
Prostate Disease and
Sexual Dysfunction
Male sexual dysfunction
mainly includes: sexual desire disorder, erectile dysfunction, and
ejaculation disorder. Sexual dysfunction caused by prostate disease
shows decreased libido, premature ejaculation, and impotence. The
reasons for sexual dysfunction caused by prostate disease are as
follows:
(1) Long-term prostate
infection can cause symptoms of prostate congestion and swelling,
voiding pain, ejaculation pain, pelvic pain, and further induce
sexual dysfunction;
(2) Prostate blockage and
calcification caused by prostate disease can press the surrounding
nerves and blood vessels. This pressure can lead to blood
circulation disorder in the prostate and surrounding tissues,
neurological disorder, and sexual dysfunction;
(3) Long-term
inflammation can affect hormones secreted by the prostate
(prostaglandins) and negatively affect sexual function;
(4) When prostate
infections spread to the seminal vesicles and verumontanum, patients
may experience significant ejaculation pain, hemospermia (blood in
the semen), and low libido;
(5) When prostate
infections spread to the epididymis and testis, pathogens, such as,
viruses and chlamydia, can directly damage the testicular and
epididymal cells and epididymal tubes become blocked. And, testis
atrophy, decreased secretion of testosterone, secretion disorder of
sex hormone, and impotence and infertility occur; and
(6) Recurrent prostate
disease brings psychological and mental burdens to patients, which
contribute to further sexual dysfunction. There are many reasons of
sexual dysfunction.
If the diagnosis is
prostate disease, which is determined to be the cause of the sexual
dysfunction, patients receiving our 3D Prostate Targeted Treatment
often recover their sexual function after all the pathogens are
killed, and the blockage and calcification cleared.
Prostate Disease and
Male Infertility
The prostate is a very
important sexual organ for males. The function of the prostate is to
secrete a slightly acidic fluid, milky or white in appearance, that
usually constitutes 50–75% of the volume of the semen along with
spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. In healthy men, semen is made
alkaline overall with the secretions from the other contributing
glands, including, at least, the seminal vesicle fluid. The
alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal
tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. Prostate disease,
especially prostatitis, vesiculitis and epididymitis, can affect the
semen quality and reduce male fertility resulting in infertility.
Prostatitis Causes Male
Infertility
1) Reduction in the
quality of semen occurs when the PH value drops because of
prostatitis and/or infection. The osmotic pressure will increase,
the viscosity altered, the liquefying time will be prolonged, the
secretion function will decrease, and the nutrition will reduce. All
these factors will reduce the quality and mobility of semen, and
cause male infertility.
2) The white blood count
(WBC) and other immune cytokines will increase in the semen because
of prostatitis (infection). Overtime, WBCs in their attempt to kill
causative pathogens damage sperm. WBCs are unable to eradicate many
of the sexually transmitted pathogens, such as, Chlamydia,
mycoplasma, and ureaplasma, etc. The metabolite oxygen derived free
radicals (ROS) produced by inflammatory reaction will also harm
sperm function and lower sperm mobility.
3) The immune reaction
caused by prostatitis will lead to male infertility. Anti-sperm
antibodies (AsAb) increase because of the immune activation.
Anti-sperm antibodies attached to the sperm surface, mainly the head
and tail of the sperm, severely affecting sperm mobility.
4) Chronic prostatitis
can cause sexual function disorder. The symptoms of sexual function
disorder include erection disorder, premature ejaculation,
ejaculatory incompetence, and low sex drive, etc. Male infertility
will increase as a result of sexual function disorder.
Thus, chronic prostatitis
is closely related to male infertility. Special attention must be
give to genitourinary infection and sexually transmitted disease
(STD) when treating male patients who have infertility.
If the patient's
infertility is caused by prostate disease, after receiving our 3D
Prostate Targeted Treatment, you can quickly return to normal
fertility.
Chronic
Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)
Chronic pelvic pain
syndrome is often called chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. The
clinical symptoms include: pelvic area pain, lower abdomen pain,
perineum pain, penis pain, perianal area pain, urethra pain, and
pubic area or lumbosacral pain. Urination abnormalities include:
urgent urination, frequent urination, pain when urinating, and
increased nocturia. This type of chronic pain usually cannot be
cured by long term conventional treatments. The patient’s quality of
life decreases as he experiences pain, sexual dysfunction, anxiety,
depression, insomnia, and memory loss, etc.
The etiology of chronic
pelvic pain syndrome is very complex. Most doctors believe the main
causes of chronic pelvic pain syndrome are non-bacterial, such as,
inflammation, abnormal pelvic floor neuromuscular activity, and
immune abnormalities. As a result, chronic pelvic pain syndrome
lacks an objective and specific diagnostic basis. Thus, traditional
treatment methods and medications, such as, alpha-blockers, oral and
IV antibiotics, analgesics, antidepressants, plant extracts, and
biofeedback therapies have poor curative effects.
Dr. Song has proved,
through long-term research and many clinical case studies, the main
cause of chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men is pathogenic (e.g.,
prostate infection, prostate blockage, and prostate calcification).
Dr. Song has found a variety of pathogens hiding in prostate
blockage and calcified lesions. These infected, blocked, and
calcified areas are difficult to detect by general examination.
However, Dr. Song uses specialized test methods, which allow for
pathogenic specific testing and examination of infected areas, and
blocked and calcification lesions. For example, trans-rectal
ultrasound (TRUS) is used to detect irregular echoes, prostate
calculus (calcification), and enlarged venous plexus around the
prostate. Causative pathogens often hide in the blocked and
calcified areas, and produce various biological toxins. When a
patient’s immunity is weak from illness or other internal and
external factors, increased pathogenic growth makes the prostate
irritated and enlarged. The surrounding tissues (lymphatic ducts,
tiny blood vessels, glandular tubes, nerves, posterior urethra, vas
deferens, and ejaculatory duct) become compressed, damaged, and lose
function. Often, the causative pathogens spread to the seminal
vesicles, spermatic duct, epididymis, and other areas. They cause
additional symptoms.
3D Prostate Targeted
Treatment can kill pathogens, clear blockage and calcification, and
achieve a complete cure for chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS).
