Patient's question:
This symptom has persisted for some time. It's been feeling like lower back pain and a constant sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen, along with a feeling of incomplete urination. There's also some secretions leaking from the urethral opening. The hospital examination said it's prostatitis. Please ask: How long does it take to treat granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is best approached through a combination of Western and Chinese medicine. First, antibiotics should be used for 7-14 days, followed by stabilization treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment of prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve complete recovery. During the treatment period, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, consume non-irritating foods, do not smoke or drink beer, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy called warm Sitz bath: Pour about 40% of water (enough that your hand does not feel scalded) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. When the water temperature drops, add more hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the excretion of inflammatory secretions.
