Patient's question:
Since the beginning of the year, I've been feeling like I have a lot of nighttime urination, and I also have frequent urination during the day. When I urinate, there's a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine is not much. I also always feel like I haven't fully emptied my bladder. My lower back, waist, and abdomen also hurt badly. I think it might be prostatitis. Please ask: How is prostatitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Do you have frequent urination, urgency, or pain during urination? Based on your description, it is likely that prostatic cysts are caused by prostatitis. You may have chronic prostatitis due to incomplete treatment of acute prostatitis. Prostatitis can be either bacterial or non-bacterial. Therefore, when treating prostatitis, it is necessary to diagnose which type of prostatitis it is. The treatment for prostatitis requires effective antibiotic therapy, usually lasting 3-4 courses, followed by checking the prostatic fluid to see if it returns to normal. If it is normal, an additional week of treatment may be needed to stabilize the condition. After full recovery from prostatitis, the cysts may completely resolve. Small cysts generally do not require treatment. Large cysts can be treated surgically. Personally, I do not recommend surgical treatment.
