Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe pain in my prostate. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed it as prostatitis. I would like to ask the doctor, what are the common causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostate examination was normal without tenderness, but there was relatively significant tenderness in the perineal muscles and other areas. Therefore, clinical doctors named this condition "prostatodynia." In addition to biological and psychological factors, the etiology also includes lifestyle disturbances, such as:1. Drug abuse;
2. Eating spicy foods;
3. Prolonged sitting;
4. Lack of water intake;
5. Chronic habitual constipation;
6. Cold exposure, etc.
It is recommended to follow medical advice for a definitive diagnosis, pay attention to lifestyle care, take medication as prescribed, and reduce sitting time. Use a thick, soft cushion on the chair to alleviate local pressure. Additionally, consider physical therapy, hot Sitz baths, Kegel exercises, and suppositories like indomethacin for the anus, among other treatments.
