Patient's question:
I'm really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I'm experiencing urinary urgency, pain during urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting. I've also started having problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I truly feel very helpless. Please ask: How should prostatitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Based on your age and symptoms, you are currently suffering from prostatitis. Prostatitis refers to a prostate disease characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as its main clinical manifestations, caused by various complex factors. Prostatitis is a common condition in urology, accounting for the second-highest proportion of male patients under the age of 50 in this field. Although the incidence of prostatitis is high, its etiology remains unclear, especially in non-bacterial prostatitis. Therefore, its treatment is primarily based on stabilizing symptoms. First, clinical diagnostic tests should be conducted to confirm the type of the disease and determine the treatment method based on its cause. Misidentification of the disease, unnecessary anxiety, and excessive abstinence can alleviate symptoms, so it is important to alleviate patients' concerns.
