Patient's question:
I recently experienced frequent urination and difficulty urinating. At first, I thought I had a urinary tract infection, but after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I actually have prostatitis. Now, I'm particularly curious about how to treat granulomatous prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases among adult males. Although it is not a direct life-threatening disease, it significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Prostatitis accounts for 8% to 25% of patients in urology clinics, and approximately 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. It is best to conduct further careful examination to determine the cause—whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial—since different treatments are required for different types. It is better to undergo thorough examination and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to increasing sitting and standing, maintaining regular sexual activity, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
