Patient's question:
This symptom has persisted for some time. It's that I often feel lower back pain and a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and I also have a feeling of incomplete urination. Additionally, there is some secretory fluid leaking from the urethral opening. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was prostatitis. Please ask: How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis often manifests as discomfort during urination, urine splitting, hesitation to urinate, frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain in the urethra during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be mucus or other secretions from the urethral opening, and the sensation of difficulty urinating may recur. There may also be a sense of heaviness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus. The pain and discomfort are relieved when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs or benches for a long time. Sexual dysfunction may also occur. Prostatic fluid can be tested for diagnosis. Western medicine treatment is based on antibiotic therapy, while traditional Chinese medicine is based on oral Chinese herbal medicine. Sitz baths and prostate massage also have a certain effect on treating prostatitis. Pay attention to preventing colds in daily life. Drink more water, urinate more frequently. Relax more, and avoid overexertion.
