Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethra, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I'm asking: If I have prostatitis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
How to treat prostatitis symptoms. Prostatitis is a very common and confusing disease, with 50% of men experiencing symptoms at some point in their lives. Therefore, patients with prostatitis should seek timely treatment. First, when treating prostatitis, one should not resort to random treatments or blindly follow advice—only effective methods can truly provide relief. Second, the treatment must be thorough; one should not stop as soon as symptoms improve or switch medications arbitrarily. Lastly, after recovery, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, reduce the intake of spicy foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance overall fitness, preventing the condition from recurring.
