Patient's question:
I'm only 25 years old, I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't have any bad sexual habits, but I recently noticed that there is always white stuff coming out of my urethra, and it's also itchy and painful when I urinate. I think it might be prostatitis, so I'm asking: How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and there are many causes of prostatitis. Long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and spicy or stimulating foods, as well as conditions like prolonged foreskin, frequent sexual activity or excessive sexual intercourse, and unclean sexual experiences, can all lead to it. The treatment principles involve using antibiotics in combination with physical therapy to accelerate drug absorption and quickly achieve the goal of treatment. The dietary approach should focus on light, easily digestible foods, with an emphasis on eating more vegetables and fruits while reducing spicy and stimulating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, and increasing the opportunity for prostate congestion. Maintain a normal sex life according to individual circumstances, avoiding both excessive indulgence and abstinence. Avoid holding urine for long periods and seek timely treatment for urinary and perinatal infections.
