Men's Health Fuzhou

When paying attention to men's health in Fuzhou, the safest way is to give priority to urology and men's departments/andrology specialist outpatient clinics in public tertiary hospitals, and secondly, to combine men's health follow-up services at regular community health service centers. Don't believe in street advertisements and excessive publicity from informal private institutions. This is the conclusion I have gained after working in the medical industry in Fuzhou for 8 years and accompanying dozens of acquaintances through the relevant medical treatment procedures.

I met a 32-year-old programmer brother from Jin'an two years ago. After working on a project for three months, he kept urinating frequently and occasionally had pain in his lower abdomen. He was embarrassed to go to a public hospital, so he picked up the "Men's Specialist Discounted Examination" card issued at the subway entrance and went there. He was arranged for a full set of examinations worth more than 3,000 yuan, and was told that "serious infections require immediate treatment." Treatment, otherwise it will affect fertility." He was so frightened that he almost paid for it on the spot. Then he turned around and called me. I asked him to go directly to the men's department of the First Affiliated Hospital to register. In the end, it was found out that it was chronic prostatitis caused by sitting for a long time and holding in urine. I prescribed more than 200 medicines and told him to stand up for two minutes every hour and drink less cold beer. He recovered in half a month.

That’s not to say that all private andrology institutions are unreliable. Now there are professional institutions operating in compliance with the regulations in the industry, and many industry peers will recognize the standardized operations. However, the cost of identification is too high for ordinary people. As long as you see slogans such as “one-time cure”, “invalid refund” and “30 minutes to solve sexual function problems” in the promotion, you can just leave. It is 100% a pitfall of over-marketing.

The high incidence of men's health problems in Fuzhou is actually closely related to local living habits. Many old Fuzhou people like to drink green and red wine, and meet up late at night to eat laohua and barbecue. Those who drive Didi, run freight, and work on Lianjiang Luoyuan fishing rafts all year round. Sitting and holding back urine, or staying in a cold and humid environment for a long time. In addition, the Internet and foreign trade industries in urban areas are heavily involved. Staying up late and working overtime is the norm. The incidence of prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, and reduced fertility quality is higher than in many northern cities. Previously, a 40-year-old Lianjiang farmer came to me and said that he had a sore back and poor urination for more than half a year. He always felt that he had "kidney deficiency". He bought several thousand yuan of red sturgeon and bullwhip to stew, and also asked someone to buy a lot of imported kidney-tonifying health products. The more he ate, the more he ate. The more I felt my mouth became dry, the problem didn't get better. Later I went to the Men's Department of the Provincial People's Hospital to seek TCM syndrome differentiation. It was a typical constitution that was dominated by dampness and heat. The more supplements I took, the worse it became. I prescribed a prescription to clear away heat and dampness, and adjusted my work and rest. I basically recovered in more than two months.

When it comes to tonifying the kidneys, there is actually quite a big difference in local knowledge in Fuzhou. Most of the elders in the family believe in food tonics and think that there is no harm in eating more warm and tonic ingredients. The point of view of formal Chinese medicine is that syndrome differentiation is required. Not everyone is suitable for taking supplements. People with hot and humid constitutions and qi stagnation may take supplements indiscriminately, which will disrupt the body's balance.； The attitude of Western medicine is more direct. There is currently no clear evidence-based medical evidence to prove that this type of food supplement can directly improve male function, and it has more of a psychological comfort effect. If you really want to take supplements, it is better to find a doctor to identify your physical condition before taking action. It is much more reliable than taking supplements blindly on your own.

Many people's understanding of men's health is still limited to "just sexual function." In fact, the scope is very broad. Reproductive development problems of adolescents, fertility problems of men of childbearing age, prostate hyperplasia in middle-aged and elderly people, male menopausal syndrome, and even emotional problems caused by long-term stress that affect physiological status, all fall into the category of men's health. I met a 28-year-old young man who works in cross-border e-commerce. After staying up late for six months in a row, his sexual performance was not good. He was so anxious that he secretly bought a lot of erection-boosting pills. The more he took them, the more he felt that he was "not good". Later, he went to the provincial men's department for a checkup. There were no physical problems at all. It was just caused by long-term anxiety and lack of sleep. After three psychological counseling sessions, he adjusted his work and rest, and he was fine without taking pills.

Let me give you a little practical reminder. Nowadays, Fuzhou's top three public hospitals, including Fuzhou's First Affiliated Hospital, Provincial People's Government, and Municipal People's Government, all have specialized men's clinics. You can register directly on the WeChat official account. You don't have to go to the site to queue up, and you don't have to feel embarrassed. Doctors see dozens of patients a day, and they have long been used to it. If there are no andrology-related items in the annual physical examination at the workplace, men over 40 years old can definitely get a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening by themselves. For a few dozen yuan, the risk of prostate cancer can be checked in advance. There are also the "kidney maintenance" and "prostate massage" that are claimed by street health centers. It is okay to massage the waist as a relaxing massage. It would be foolish to believe that it can cure diseases. Many people have prostate problems after massage. If they really feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor directly. It is better than anything else.

After all, men's health is really not something to be ashamed of. After staying in Fuzhou for so long, I have seen too many people dragging small problems into big troubles. If you really feel that something is wrong with your body, you can find the right formal way. Most problems can be solved, and you don't have to suffer just to save face.
