Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, due to poor health, I was completely lacking in energy. I caught colds several times and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. To my surprise, the doctor recommended I get tested for prostatitis. The test results came back saying I had chronic prostatitis. I was completely shocked upon hearing this. Could you please advise on how to manage the condition effectively?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is commonly found in patients with excessive sexual activity or frequent sexual intercourse, often accompanied by symptoms such as damp scrotum, frequent urination, urgent urination, impotence, and premature ejaculation. It is recommended to abstain from sexual activity, pay attention to rest, ensure deep sleep, maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol stimulation, and prevent activities that stimulate the prostate, such as cycling. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular sexual life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
