Prostatitis-induced drug-induced hepatitis: How is it treated?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor. Male, 43 years old. I have been experiencing frequent urination and some pain during urination recently. I was diagnosed with prostatitis. How should the drug-induced hepatitis caused by prostatitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Excessive medication intake can put severe pressure on the liver, and some drugs can also cause liver damage, leading to a recurrence of elevated transaminase levels. Drug-induced liver injury is different from autoimmune liver injury. If you control the medication well and avoid those drugs that are harmful to the liver, the liver generally will not have major problems. From your examination results, it has already returned to normal, so there is no need to worry too much.
