Patient's question:
How should prostatitis be treated in its early stages? A family member in my household has been diagnosed with this condition, and I am urgently seeking information about its treatment methods. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is best further examined to determine the specific cause—whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial—since different treatments are required for each type. It is advisable to conduct thorough tests to identify the cause and then treat accordingly for better results. Pay attention to increasing sitting and standing activities, maintaining regular sexual activity, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
