Patient's question:
Lately these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, a bit painful. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Anyway, I'm restless, wondering if I might have prostatitis! If it really is, please ask: What should prostatitis patients eat?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis can lead to fibrosis of connective tissue, causing narrowing of the prostate ducts and retention of secretions, forming cysts; or it may be caused by parasites, such as echinococcosis, which can induce chronic inflammation in the prostate ducts and surrounding tissues, or gradually form cysts through granulomatous fibrosis. For the treatment of prostatic cysts, currently the most commonly used medical approaches are drug therapy and surgical treatment.Drug Therapy: Based on bacterial culture results, sensitive antibiotics are selected to eliminate or inhibit pathogens. Chinese herbal medicine treatment can also be combined, with prescriptions tailored to individual symptoms and conditions according to the principles of syndrome differentiation.
Surgical Treatment: The main methods include needle drainage and drainage surgery. The choice of surgery depends on the patient's specific condition and symptoms to determine which approach yields better results.
