Patient's question:
These days, I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a strong urge to urinate. However, when I go to the bathroom, it feels like there isn't much urine. Sometimes it's just a drop or two. During morning urination, I even noticed that my stream was split. After consulting, I found out it might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How should mild prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia is a common disease among elderly men, with onset typically occurring after the age of 50. As age increases, the incidence rate tends to decline, making it a frequent condition in urology. Treating prostate hyperplasia is a long-term process. Once diagnosed, patients must follow medical advice and take medication as prescribed, never stopping or reducing dosage on their own. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to adjust the treatment plan promptly based on the condition. Additionally, in terms of diet and lifestyle, it is important to avoid foods and alcohol, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged sitting, and long-distance bicycle riding. Urinate timely and never hold back urine. Untreated or delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should adhere to timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
