Second, “Four Don’t”
Don’t believe in small advertisements, small hospitals, small clinics, laboring people, wrongful illnesses, and hurting money;
Don’t lose confidence. Sometimes mentality is more important than medication. Facing life positively, the treatment of diseases cannot be avoided. Please carry out diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of professional doctors in regular hospitals. This is very important.
Do not abuse antibiotics, which will lead to imbalance of flora, growth of opportunistic pathogens or resistant bacteria, and even superinfection of fungi, aggravating the disease, and increasing the difficulty and course of treatment.
Do not do prostate injection/perfusion or hyperthermia (microwave, radiofrequency, laser, field ablation, etc.) There is a risk of permanent urethral strictures, and can promote prostate tissue hardening and formation of more There are many scar shells, these scars are not conducive to the drainage of inflammation, and it is difficult for antibiotics to reach the lesion site, which increases the difficulty of treatment.
