Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like urinary urgency, dysuria, and incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting as well. My sexual life has also started to have problems. I am still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: How long does it usually take to recover from prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is a common disease in men, with the main symptoms being frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Besides these, it may also include symptoms such as a split stream of urine, post-micturition dripping, an increasing number of nocturia, and the leakage of milky from the urethra after urination or defecation. Additionally, it may lead to sexual dysfunction. Prostatitis is prone to occur and must be treated thoroughly. It typically requires treatment for about a week, followed by a reexamination of prostatic fluid.It is recommended that you take oral medications such as ofloxacin and Prostamol CR for anti-infection treatment. Avoid sexual activity during treatment and drink plenty of water. You can also perform prostate massages and take various traditional Chinese herbal medicines, which have also shown good effects. Wishing you good health.
