Aubrey Prostatitis and cystitis can be distinguished by the site of onset, typical symptoms, and examination methods.
1. Site of disease
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, and cystitis is inflammation of the bladder. The prostate is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, so prostatitis may affect urinary function, while cystitis mainly affects urinary storage function.
2. Typical symptoms
Common symptoms of prostatitis include perineal swelling and pain, frequent urination and urgency, and difficulty in urination. Some patients may suffer from sexual dysfunction. Cystitis mainly manifests as bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain in urination. In severe cases, hematuria may occur, but it generally does not cause perineal pain.
3. Inspection methods
Prostatitis can reveal increased white blood cells through prostatic fluid examination, and prostate B-ultrasound may show enlargement or uneven echo. Cystitis is mainly detected through routine urine examination. White blood cells and red blood cells are detected. Bladder B-ultrasound may show thickening of the bladder wall. Cystoscopy can be performed if necessary.
4. People affected by the disease
Prostatitis is more common in young and middle-aged men, especially those who sit for long periods of time and have irregular sex lives. Cystitis can occur at any age, and is more common in women than men, which is related to the shorter urethra in women.
5. Treatment methods
Prostatitis can be treated with tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules, levofloxacin tablets, celecoxib capsules and other drugs. Antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin enteric-coated tablets, fosfomycin tromethamine powder, and cefixime dispersible tablets are commonly used in the treatment of cystitis. Both require drinking plenty of water and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly when urinary system symptoms occur. The doctor will make a clear diagnosis based on symptoms, physical examination and test results. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping the perineum clean, avoid sitting for long periods of time, exercise moderately, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to help prevent the occurrence of urinary system inflammation.
