Patient's question:
Lately these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, with some pain. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I've been feeling restless. I'm only 65 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: What should I do if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a common disease among adult males, with main symptoms including frequent urination, urgency to urinate, incomplete urination, and increased nocturia. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods; prevent prolonged riding or sitting; maintain regular sexual activity. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause, take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and wish you good health. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
