[손기정 일중한의원 원장] Among the numerous diseases, the one with the highest number of chronic patients is prostatitis. There are many patients who suffer for more than 10 years because they are not well cured, and many suffer from long-term illness, which is accompanied by loss of self-confidence and depression, or to the point where work or family life is ruined. there is. It forces men into suffering for a long period of time during their youth when they are at the peak of their social activities.

The main reason why prostatitis progresses chronically is that the prostate tissue itself has a special structure and does not respond properly to drugs such as antibiotics or urinants. Because of the histological characteristics of the prostate, which consists of microscopic tubes (prostatic ducts), antibiotics do not penetrate well into the tissue. Also, there is no cure other than antibiotics.

Ki-Jeong Son, Director of Japan-China Oriental Medicine Clinic There is also a vicious cycle in which antibiotics are taken repeatedly, resulting in resistance and weakened response to the drugs. Antibiotics are important life-saving drugs, but if taken excessively in situations where they are not absolutely necessary, they kill both good and bad bacteria in our bodies. Bacteria under pressure to survive exchange genetic material, evolve, and gain the ability to decompose or avoid antibiotics to become stronger. This is a situation where resistance to antibiotics arises. As antibiotics are used excessively, the number of resistant bacteria inevitably increases, and as resistance increases, our bodies are exposed to bacteria defenselessly. Antibiotic resistance is also an important issue for patients with chronic prostatitis who repeatedly relapse. Of course, if you are diagnosed with early stage acute bacterial prostatitis, you must receive antibiotic treatment. At this time, it is important to properly take the prescribed antibiotics until the end. Treatment must be carried out until the bacteria are destroyed. Sometimes, if symptoms improve after taking the drug for 2-3 days, people neglect or postpone taking the drug. If the initial treatment is neglected, recurrence and repeated antibiotic treatment are inevitable. They suffer from long-term pain, and antibiotic treatment is no longer effective, so they end up visiting several hospitals. It is estimated that these patients account for 80-90% of all chronic prostatitis patients, and many patients visit the hospital after repeated inquiries because they cannot endure it.

Patients with chronic prostatitis cannot be resolved by simply taking antibiotics. Complex treatment including anti-inflammatory and drainage effects, recovery of urinary function, and improvement of kidney and bladder function is required. ‘Gami Paejangjihwang-tang (加味敗醬地黃湯)’, also known as Iljungeum (加味敗醬地黃湯), is a basic prescription called Yukmijihwang-tang (六味地黃湯), which is effective in improving the function of the kidneys, and honeysuckle flowers (Honeysuckle), which reduce fever and have strong anti-inflammatory and drainage effects. ), the gastrocnemius muscle, and pure herbal medicines such as Pogongyeong, Moktong, and Psyllium that strengthen the urinary excretion function are used.

Its effectiveness was verified through a clinical paper showing that the total symptom index of chronic prostatitis from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) was significantly reduced from an average of 35 points before treatment to 6 points after treatment. Helping. Above all, the encouraging treatment results are that there was no recurrence or worsening of symptoms as a result of individual follow-up on the patients’ prognosis.

Once again, we emphasize that recurrence occurs repeatedly and it becomes difficult to cure old prostatitis with antibiotics alone. Rather, it can increase resistance and make treatment difficult. The only way to prevent recurrence of chronic prostatitis is to fundamentally resolve the complex causes instead of using antibiotics.

[이데일리 이순용 기자] Due to the autumn rain falling across the country, the chill is felt more than yesterday. Along with the chilly autumn rainy weather, symptoms of erectile dysfunction are considered factors that make middle-aged men who are tired of life more anxious. Middle-aged men who fulfill the responsibilities of being the head of a household experience significant stress at work and at home. If erectile dysfunction symptoms appear, the middle-aged man’s position becomes even narrower.

It is known that depression in middle-aged men gets worse as fall and winter go by. In fact, it is known that the probability of seasonal depression is higher in fall or winter due to less sunlight. The heavy responsibility of being the head of a middle-aged man’s household, the cool fall weather, and symptoms of erectile dysfunction are added to the mix, and depression becomes extremely severe.

Director Lee Mu-yeon of Adams Urology said, “Depression in middle-aged men also takes a serious toll on their sex lives, and symptoms of erectile dysfunction are caused by depression, overwork, etc.” He added, “Erectile dysfunction symptoms can be divided into psychological and physical causes. “Depression, stress, and anxiety disorders are considered representative psychological causes.”

Erectile dysfunction refers to a condition in which one has sexual desire but cannot achieve an erection. When a man becomes sexually excited, a large amount of blood flows into the corpora cavernosa of the penis, resulting in an erection. However, erectile dysfunction does not last like this.

When men have erectile dysfunction, they feel embarrassed and are easily frustrated. However, if this is left unattended and appropriate measures are not taken, bigger problems may arise. Although erectile dysfunction is not a disease that has a significant impact on one’s life, it is recommended to receive treatment because it can affect one’s social presence as a man and marital relationships.

In the early stages of erectile dysfunction symptoms, treatment is done with medication, but if it is ineffective, surgical methods are considered. Recently, ‘smart erectile dysfunction surgical treatment’ has been receiving attention from patients. The principle is to achieve a realistic erection effect by inserting an inflatable implant. Smart erectile dysfunction treatment is receiving great response from patients as it has no side effects, quick return to daily life, and no change in sensation.

Director Moo-yeon Lee said, “Erectile dysfunction symptoms are considered a factor that further discourages middle-aged men. Rather than being embarrassed and rushing to hide it, it is necessary to lead a confident life by maintaining an active treatment attitude.”

[정상원 바른세상병원 척추클리닉 원장] Office worker Choi (female, 34 years old) habitually crosses her legs while sitting on a chair while working. She said that the habit of crossing her legs was bad for her back health, so even though she tried to sit straight, crossing her legs felt comfortable, so she unconsciously ended up sitting with her legs crossed. But back pain was a problem. Ms. Choi, who went to the hospital after experiencing back pain that occurred without any special trauma for more than two weeks, was diagnosed with scoliosis and herniated disc. She is the director of Spine Clinic at Barunsegae Hospital, Jeong Sang-won. When you sit in one position for a long time, you get tired and have a desire to change your position. At this time, posture supplementary behavior is instinctively needed to provide lower extremity stability, and the easiest form is crossing the legs. This is why we unconsciously cross our legs. Crossing your legs as a compensatory behavior to change your posture is not all bad. This is because crossing your legs for a short time reduces the muscle activity of your torso muscles, which can temporarily reduce fatigue when working in a sitting position for a long time. Additionally, when you straighten your back and alternately cross your legs, you can have a stretching effect on your lower back and pelvic muscles. However, the problem is when you cross your legs habitually for long periods of time. When you concentrate on work for a long time, you often cross your legs without realizing it, maintain the crossed posture, and forget that you have crossed your legs. If this habit is repeated for a long period of time, the risk of developing scoliosis, where the spine bends sideways, or kyphosis, where the spine bends forward, increases. Deformation of the spine can promote long-term degenerative changes in the spine and make it vulnerable to diseases such as lumbar disc herniation. There is a need for caution.

Just like sitting with your legs crossed, sitting cross-legged is also not good for your spinal health. When you sit cross-legged, the muscles on the inside of your thighs stretch and the muscles on the outside become tight. If this habit continues, it can cause deformation of the legs and place a lot of load on the lower back, causing degenerative changes to progress quickly. This leads to back pain, and if it continues, it is highly likely to develop into herniated disc and spinal stenosis. Because spinal stenosis is a degenerative disease, it usually appears in people in their late 40s, but if poor posture persists, the disease can occur even at a young age, so caution is needed.

Proper posture is more important than anything else for spinal health. It is better to sit on a chair rather than sitting cross-legged on the floor. When sitting on a chair, place your lower back together, lean back about 100 degrees, and avoid sitting for long periods of time. The height of the chair should be about knee height, and the legs should not be crossed. If you have bad habits, correct them as soon as possible, and if you are in pain, do not endure it and visit a specialist for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent chronic pain from developing.
