Castration therapy for prostate cancer

Castration therapy for prostate cancer

1. For prostate cancer patients who have symptoms but are in poor physical condition without chemotherapy, it is recommended to use abiraterone acetate combined with prednisone for treatment. Those who are unable or unwilling to accept it can be given ketoconazole combined with corticosteroids or radionuclide treatment, and choose to use docetaxel or mitrin chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is not recommended.

2. The treatment of prostate cancer includes surgery, and testosterone begins to drop rapidly to extremely low levels. The main adverse reactions are psychological impact on patients and the inability to flexibly adjust treatment plans.

3. From a medical point of view, surgical descent means that the androgen in the body is mainly secreted by the testicles, and the testicular secretion is testosterone secretion. Testosterone needs to undergo a series of chemical reactions in the body and be restored to dihydrotestosterone before it can be active. Then dihydrotestosterone can act on prostate epithelial cells and promote the growth of prostate epithelial cells.

What medicine is suitable for prostatitis?

In addition to medication, factors that induce prostatitis need to be avoided, such as sitting for a long time and holding urine, drinking less water, frequent sexual intercourse, smoking, drinking and other bad behaviors. α-receptor blockers relax the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder, improve lower urinary tract symptoms and pain, and have become the basic medicine for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a disease of many men and still accounts for a large proportion of urology outpatient visits.
