Patient's question:
At first, it was just lower back pain, then gradually, some pain in the lower abdomen and perineum area as well. Recently, I also noticed I have urine splitting and urination doesn't seem as smooth as it used to be. Please ask: How effective is the treatment for prostatitis usually?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, for chronic prostatitis, it is recommended to drink more hot water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, beer, and frequent sexual activity to prevent affecting complete recovery. It is generally advised to undergo a prostate ultrasound and a routine semen examination to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
