Patient's question:
Recently, I often saw my dad going to the toilet. He would rush there in less than half an hour and seemed quite urgent. I asked him, and he told me that he felt some pain when urinating. He said he had prostatitis, and I wanted to take my dad to get treated. What are the methods for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your father's symptoms, it could be a manifestation of prostatitis. You should first go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the prostate ultrasound and prostatic fluid to determine the cause of the infection. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, you can consider taking oral cephalosporin antibiotics. Additionally, taking traditional Chinese medicine oral preparations can enhance the effectiveness. It is necessary to take medication under the guidance of a local doctor. Prostatitis patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while undergoing symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat or binge on food.
