"I am only 25 years old, and my prostate is already deprecated. Prostatitis always recurs. Will it become cancer?"

1. 1/6 of cancer is the cause of inflammation

Inflammation is a human body's self-protection mechanism , it is a defense process of immune response, but data have found that 1/6 of cancer is related to inflammation.

Why does inflammation cause cancer? Inflammation can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is mainly redness, swelling and pain, while chronic no obvious manifestations. During the repair process, regenerating cells need to proliferate , and cell proliferation must be based on cell division . The more cells divide, the greater the probability of errors , which causes chronic inflammation to cause cancer.

, Hepatitis → liver cancer

viral hepatitis is one of the pathogenic factors of liver cancer. More than 80% of liver cancer patients in my country suffer from viral hepatitis.

, gastritis → gastric cancer

Helicobacter pylori can cause gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer . When gastric mucosa inflammation occurs repeatedly, atrophic gastritis will form, which will lead to gastric cancer.

. Chronic ulcerative colitis → bowel cancer

Chronic ulcerative colitis can lead to bacterial disorders in the gastrointestinal tract, causing excessive immune system activity, and thus inducing bowel cancer.

, pancreatitis → pancreatic cancer

0% of pancreatic cancer patients have a history of pancreatic cancer. When pancreatitis occurs, if not treated in time, it is likely to develop chronic pancreatitis, thereby increasing the possibility of cancer.

Does all inflammations become cancerous?

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering , Professor Lin Dongxin, Cancer Hospital of Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said that not all chronic inflammation will develop into cancer. Through research, genetic factors can affect individual differentiation. This also explains why the developmental outcomes of patients will be different under the same pathological state.

2. Will prostatitis recur and recurrence cause prostate cancer ?

Prostatitis is one of the common diseases in men. On the statistical surface, 0% of men may be troubled by prostatitis once in their lifetime. So will prostatitis turn into prostate cancer?

Prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic prostatitis , and can also be divided into bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis according to different pathogenic microbial infections. Clinically, prostatitis is mostly chronic nonbacterial prostatitis , and the prostate pathogenesis is not yet clear, but it may be closely related to androgen . So far, no prostatitis has been found to be transformed into prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer treatment is difficult and has a poor prognosis, but prostatitis is a benign disease, and has a good prognosis, so don't worry.

, asymptomatic

, patients with asymptomatic

have no obvious symptoms, only evidence of inflammation was found during examination, no treatment is required, and regular review is required.

, Acute bacterial prostatitis

was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

, chronic bacterial prostatitis

oral antibiotics are mainly used, and sensitive drugs are selected, and the course of treatment is generally 4-6 weeks.

, chronic prostatitis

oral antibiotics for 2-4 weeks, and the efficacy evaluation was performed, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alpha receptor antagonists, etc. were assisted to urinate pain symptoms.

Chronic prostatitis is not very harmful, it is just a bit tormenting. The treatment is mainly to relieve symptoms. The symptoms do not occur for a long time, which is equivalent to the condition being controlled.

3. If you want to take good care of the prostate, don’t miss these things

Prostate is closely related to the "sexual" blessings of the majority of male compatriots. Therefore, keep the prostate well and remember these 4 things in daily life:

. Don’t indulge in

Frequent sexual intercourse will cause serious burden on the prostate. The prostate is constantly overcongested, which may induce inflammation, and even cause discomfort and swelling in the perineum.

. Don’t hold back your urine

If men do not pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, it is easy for bacteria to stay at the urethral opening. If you keep your urine frequently, it will increase the chance of bacteria taking advantage of the situation, which will cause prostatitis.

. Don’t sit for a long time

The prostate needs a certain space to breathe. Long-term sitting, such as driving, riding a bicycle, etc., will block blood circulation in the urinary system, thereby increasing the possibility of prostatitis.

. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol

The prostate is very sensitive to alcohol and will be quickly excited under the stimulation of alcohol, which will cause the prostate capillaries to dilate and congestion, causing the prostate to swell. In addition, nicotine , tar, etc. in cigarettes are also toxic to the prostate, which can interfere with the vascular nerves that dominate it, lead to functional disorders, and even affect the prostate congestion circulation.

. Drink more water and eat less spicy

Drink more water can promote urination, and at the same time dilute the urine concentration to reduce the irritation caused by urine concentration to the prostate. In addition to drinking more water, you should also pay attention to eating less spicy food to avoid irritating food to induce prostate congestion and causing acute attacks of prostatitis.

4. Teach you how to check the prostate health level from urine

Men over 50 years old can check whether there are prostate problems through the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).

mild: ~7 points were determined as mild symptoms

moderate: ~19 points were determined as moderate symptoms

s were severe: 0~35 points were determined as severe symptoms.

Finally, it should be emphasized that not all inflammations will develop into cancer. Patients do not need to panic about inflammation, but they cannot ignore it. Once inflammation is discovered, actively intervene to prevent the recurrence of inflammation, give cell mutations a chance, and ultimately lead to worsening of the disease. #统合合合合合合合合合合合合# #Health Science Competition#
