Patient's question:
Since the beginning of the year, I've been feeling like I have a lot of nighttime urination, and also frequent urination during the day. When I urinate, there's a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine isn't much. I also always feel like I haven't fully emptied my bladder. My lower back, waist, and abdomen are also in severe pain. I suspect it might be a prostatitis abscess. Please ask: How is a prostatitis abscess treated?Doctor's answer:
Western Medicine Treatment:① Oral diethylstilbestrol, 1 mg each time, taken 3 times daily;
② Ethinyl estradiol valerate, 10 mg each time, administered intramuscularly 2 times weekly, with 1 month constituting a course;
③ Oral hexestrol, 20 mg each time, taken 3 times daily;
④ Prednisone 10 mg, taken 3 times daily.
Since this medication is a corticosteroid, the duration of use should not be less than 1 week.
