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 is not much. I also always feel like I haven't emptied my bladder completely. My lower back, waist, and abdomen also hurt badly. I suspect it might be prostatitis. Please ask: If you have prostatitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis generally requires oral anti-inflammatory drugs that can pass through the prostatic membrane, such as azithromycin and compound sulfamethoxazole. In daily life, it is important to follow a ban on alcohol, coffee, and spicy or acidic foods. Prostate massage once a week and evening hot baths are beneficial for local inflammation resolution. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely and symptomatic medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
