Which hospital is better for men’s health?

There is no "best" men's health diagnosis and treatment hospital that applies to everyone. Giving priority to the urology department or andrology department of a regular public tertiary hospital is the choice that cannot go wrong in most cases.

To be honest, several of my friends have been through the pitfalls of informal private men's hospitals. The one who impressed me the most was a 27-year-old programmer who came to me for consultation last year. He only had mild prostatitis caused by sitting for a long time. He always felt that it was troublesome to queue up for public registration. He was also afraid of being embarrassed to meet acquaintances. After browsing a short video, he found a men's hospital with "specialized treatment and guaranteed privacy". He went there, and was dragged through seven or eight useless examinations. He was also deceived that if he did not receive treatment, it would affect his fertility. He was given so-called "deep hyperthermia therapy" in a confused way. He spent more than 20,000 yuan on it, but the symptoms became worse. Finally, he went to the urology department of the local Provincial People's Hospital. After seeing the doctor, he asked him to adjust his daily routine and prescribed more than 200 medicines. He got better in half a month.

Of course, this does not mean that all private institutions cannot be chosen. After all, many people do have concerns about the public medical treatment experience: it is difficult to get a number, the waiting time is long, sometimes the consultation time is short, and there are also some privacy-related issues that cannot be discussed in front of other people waiting in the clinic. Nowadays, there are many compliant high-end private andrology clinics. Most of the doctors are senior doctors who have multiple practices in tertiary hospitals. The treatment environment is private and appointments are convenient. However, the fees will be much higher. If you have sufficient budget, you can check the practice qualifications of the institution in advance on the official website of the National Health Commission. It is also an option.

In fact, choosing a hospital is like choosing daily skin care products. There is no need to blindly choose the so-called "number one in the country". If it is just common problems such as prostate problems, sexual dysfunction, and reproductive infections, the local regular top urology department can handle them.； If you have a need for reproductive assistance such as oligoasthenozoospermia, you can also choose a specialized hospital with national key specialties in reproductive medicine. ； If the problem is closely related to psychological factors, it is preferable to choose a hospital that has a joint men's department and psychological outpatient clinic, which will have better results than physical diagnosis and treatment alone. The only thing to avoid is the kind of agency that puts up pop-up ads all over the place, hands out small cards on the roadside, and promises "same-day results, complete cure". No matter how good they are, don't go there. The probability of being scammed is almost 100%.
