Patient's question:
I am a college student. Besides classes, I usually like to play computer games in the dormitory. I spend a lot of time sitting, and I also lack exercise. Recently, I've noticed that I can't urinate cleanly when I go to the toilet, and there is also white discharge. After doing some research, I found it might be prostatitis. I'm still so young. I wonder: What are the potential harms that can be caused by prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, I personally recommend that the patient undergo a thorough examination of prostatic fluid, to check the number of lecithin corpuscles and whether there is a leukocyte infection. The most important treatment for prostatitis is prevention. Avoid prolonged sitting, alcohol consumption, and spicy or irritating foods. Use warm water for a 20-minute sit bath every night. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. I hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
