Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing frequent urination and painful urination recently, which has been very uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with prostatitis. What should I do about granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is generally associated with bacterial infection, and common symptoms include leukorrhea, frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, and discomfort. There are many types of medications for treating prostatitis, such as antibiotics, α-blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticholinergic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, etc. At the same time, general lifestyle care and appropriate physical methods can be used as adjuvant therapy, which is highly effective. For example, hot Sitz baths can be beneficial. Additionally, dietary restrictions should be followed, such as avoiding spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying up late, fatigue, long-distance cycling or driving, and excessive masturbation. Sexual activity should be regular.
