Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting. I've also started experiencing problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: What is the best way to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease among middle-aged and young men, categorized into bacterial and non-bacterial types based on its cause. Chronic prostatitis itself does not necessarily cause serious harm to the body, but some patients may experience discomfort symptoms. Current treatment primarily involves appropriate anti-inflammatory and symptomatic therapies. The former can be administered based on drug sensitivity results, while the latter can utilize α-receptor blockers for treatment. Additionally, local physical therapy may sometimes yield satisfying results, such as sitting in a warm bath for about 15 minutes daily. Meanwhile, in daily life, it is important to avoid consuming irritating foods, sitting in cold places, and not riding bicycles for excessively long periods. Chronic prostatitis is difficult to fully heal on its own, but as long as symptoms are effectively controlled and preventive measures are taken, the condition can be managed.
