Patient's question:
I am over forty years old this year. I suffer from prostatitis. The doctor said that early treatment is necessary because it is highly harmful. How can prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of prostatitis is complex, especially with chronic prostatitis showing diverse symptoms, obscure causes, and difficulties in diagnosis. Moreover, drugs often struggle to reach the affected area, making it easy for prostatitis to persist and recur repeatedly. Adopting a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, along with physical therapy, can yield satisfactory clinical outcomes. Specifically, medications should be selected based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, administered in adequate doses and prescribed for the appropriate duration. Simultaneously, selective physical methods such as microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multifunctional therapy, and injection should be employed. It is recommended to promptly visit a specialized urological hospital for prostatitis to clarify the specific underlying cause.
