Patient's question:
I am a college student, and I usually spend my time playing computer games in the dormitory when I'm not in class. I sit for a lot of time and lack exercise. Recently, I've noticed that I can't urinate cleanly and there's white discharge coming out. After doing some research, I found out it might be prostatitis. I'm still so young, so I'm asking: How can prostatitis be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, mostly occurring in young and middle-aged adults. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical diagnosis, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate among adults.Treatment for acute prostatitis: Patients should rest in bed, drink plenty of water, and maintain bowel regularity as general measures. For those with severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesics and hot sitz baths can be administered to relieve symptoms.
Prostatitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are also important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
