Patient's question:
Male, 50 years old, always feels urinary irritation, feels like there's still urine after urination, and experiences forceful dripping of white fluid. Sometimes, when defecating, there is a discharge of viscous liquid. A few months ago, I visited a hospital, and the doctor did not recommend a thorough examination, saying it was typical chronic prostatitis. If I have prostatitis and it flares up, it's very uncomfortable. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to your description, you have a history of prostatitis for over ten years, with recurrent episodes. It should be classified as chronic prostatitis, which is not easy to recover from. If chronic prostatitis is not properly managed, it can easily flare up. On the other hand, dietary factors must be considered; spicy and irritating foods must be avoided. Additionally, exposure to cold is also a contributing factor that can trigger prostatitis. Therefore, while undergoing medication, it is essential to pay attention to these two aspects to prevent recurrent episodes.
