Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethra, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How can prostatitis be cared for in a safe and effective way?Doctor's answer:
1. Patients should not sit for too long. If possible, place a cushion on the chair to slow down the local blood circulation of the prostate tissue, which helps reduce prostate pain.2. For patients with prostatitis, dietary habits should be appropriate. Avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods, as these are harmful to the prostate and may exacerbate prostatitis. When dressing, avoid tight pants that restrict the prostate. Mentally, effective regulation should be implemented, along with appropriate physical exercise.
3. Patients with prostatitis can use warm water sitz baths or sitz baths with blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications for treatment. This will provide relief to the perineum and improve blood circulation in the prostate.
