For bacterial prostatitis, antibiotic treatment is usually the main treatment. Whether it is intravenous infusion, prostate puncture injection, or prostate interventional ablation, there is no lack of the appearance of antibiotics.
It is undeniable that for pathogenic bacteria and even pathogenic microorganisms, corresponding antibiotics can indeed play a very good inhibitory and killing effect, and indeed contribute to the elimination of a significant portion of bacterial inflammation. However, for bacterial inflammation of the prostate, it is best to use antibiotics cautiously, especially in large quantities.
The reason for this is also very simple. "Due to bacterial prostatitis, the use of a large amount of antibiotics is not only difficult to achieve ideal treatment results, but also prone to causing pathogenic bacteria to develop" drug resistance ", further increasing the difficulty of treating bacterial prostatitis.".
1. Antibiotics are difficult to achieve good therapeutic effects in bacterial prostatitis.
Unlike other male organs, the male prostate is surrounded by a lipid membrane with good elasticity, flexible texture, and a certain thickness. This lipid coating has a strong barrier effect against foreign substances, including antibiotics.
Therefore, for bacterial inflammation within the capsule of the prostate and in the prostate parenchyma glands, antibiotics are often difficult to reach the lesion directly under the barrier of the prostate, or at the lesion site, it is difficult to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration, which in turn is difficult to treat bacterial inflammation at the lesion site, and it is difficult to achieve good therapeutic effects.
The bad news is that a significant proportion of men suffer from bacterial prostatitis, where inflammation occurs within the prostate capsule and in the prostate parenchymal glands!
2. Bacterial prostatitis and misuse of antibiotics can easily increase the difficulty of treatment.
As the saying goes, "There are no two identical leaves in the world.". In the same way, there are no two identical bacteria in the world.
It is understood that two different bacteria, even if they are of the same origin, ethnicity, and appearance, usually have certain individual differences due to different genes. This is like the height, fat, thin, strong and weak of our humans.
However, for antibiotics, the individual differences between two different bacteria are mainly reflected in drug resistance. To put it bluntly, there is usually a certain difference in the difficulty of inhibiting and killing two different bacteria with specific antibiotics, even if the difference may be minimal.
In the "bacterial warfare", the misuse of antibiotics leads to the complete elimination of pathogenic bacteria with weak drug resistance, resulting in the death of children and grandchildren; Pathogenic bacteria with strong drug resistance can survive and reproduce with luck. At the same time, in the process of reproduction, on the one hand, pathogenic bacteria with strong drug resistance will inherit their drug resistance genes to the next generation; On the other hand, on the basis of inheriting "older generation" drug resistance genes, new pathogenic bacteria, under the repeated attack of antibiotics, will constantly mutate and strengthen their own drug resistance genes.
The final result is often: the more antibiotics are used, the stronger the resistance of pathogenic bacteria becomes, and the more difficult it is to treat bacterial inflammation!
Therefore, even if the bacterial inflammation in the outer layer of the prostate envelope can cross the barrier effect of the prostate envelope, it is not recommended to use antibiotics in a long-term and large amount to avoid promoting the "evolution" of pathogenic bacteria, and instead increase the difficulty of treating bacterial prostatitis.
