Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Additionally, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy when I go to the bathroom, and there's some slight pain at the urethral opening. The examination suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please advise on how to treat prostatitis and ensure peace of mind?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and there are many causes of it. Long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, spicy and stimulating foods, phimosis, frequent sexual activity or excessive sexual intercourse, and unclean sexual experiences are among the factors that can lead to prostatitis.The treatment principles involve using antibiotics in combination with physical therapy to accelerate drug absorption and quickly achieve therapeutic goals. The dietary approach should focus on light, easily digestible foods, with an emphasis on consuming more fruits and vegetables while reducing spicy and stimulating foods. Quit smoking and alcohol to increase blood flow to the prostate. Maintain a normal sex life according to individual circumstances, avoiding both overindulgence and abstinence. Avoid holding urine for long periods and seek timely treatment for urinary and perinatal infections.
