Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old male and have been feeling discomfort in my prostate area. After a check-up, it was found that there are calcifications present. The doctor said it doesn't require treatment, but I am very concerned, so I wanted to consult. Could you please answer the following: Even after taking medication for prostatitis, why do I still experience frequent urination and urgency?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves self-care and attention to regulation, targeting the eradication of the underlying causes. Patients with prostatitis must pay attention to avoiding cold exposure, prolonged sitting, and cycling. They should also avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and maintain a regular lifestyle. Regular physical exercise is essential to stabilize blood circulation, promote the continuous secretion of prostatic fluid, dilute bacterial toxins, and assist in the metabolism of medications while enhancing immunity. Complete abstinence from sexual activity and circumcision are necessary to prevent recurrent episodes of prostatitis, followed by medication. If bacterial infection is present, antibiotics can be administered orally or via intravenous drip.
