Patient's question:
This symptom has persisted for some time. It's that I often feel lower back pain and a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and I also experience a feeling of incomplete urination. Additionally, there is some secretory fluid leaking from the urethral opening. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was prostatitis. Please ask: How can prostatitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Common treatments for prostatitis include physical therapy (including high-frequency electric therapy, iontophoresis, magnetotherapy, and sitz bath massage therapy) and medication (including antibiotic treatment, α-adrenergic blockers, muscle relaxants, and traditional Chinese medicine).Recommendations:
- Quit smoking and drinking.
- Avoid spicy foods.
- Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity.
- Prevent local cold exposure.
Additionally, adopting physical therapy can enhance treatment effectiveness. Methods include sitz bath (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes). Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
Moreover, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be planned based on thorough examination results.
