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. The doctor surprisingly recommended that I get tested for prostatitis. The test results indicated that I had chronic prostatitis. After hearing this, I was in shock. What should I do if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. In bacterial cases, it is important to identify the specific pathogen causing it, such as Streptococcus, E. coli, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek a clear diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment, as different pathogens require different medications and treatment plans. Otherwise, it is easy for the condition to recur repeatedly.Recommendation: Seek standardized treatment from a reputable urological hospital to avoid unnecessary detours and expenses.
Advice:
- Avoid spicy and foods.
- Avoid prolonged sitting, overtime work, smoking, and drinking beer, as these are unhealthy habits.
- For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
