Patient's question:
I started feeling that I had frequent nighttime urination and also frequent urination during the day. When I urinate, there's a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine is not much. I also always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. My lower back and abdomen also hurt badly. I think it might be prostatitis. Could you please ask: What are the common methods for diagnosing and treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be treated and cured, but it is not entirely ruled out that the condition may recur after recovery. In daily life, it is necessary to control the frequency of sexual activity, pay attention to dietary structure, and prevent excessive congestion of the prostate. Generally, antibiotics can be prescribed, such as levofloxacin, often combined with Qian Shu Le capsule, etc. Prostatitis is not contagious, but during sexual activity without proper treatment, using condoms is necessary to prevent the risk of vaginal infections in women. Drinking less beer, avoiding prolonged sitting, performing regular Kegel exercises, and maintaining warm sitz baths are all helpful. The condition of prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication to manage it.
