Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I previously suffered from prostatitis due to excessive sexual activity. The symptoms began to worsen from the beginning of last year, and it became necessary to seek treatment. I have taken many traditional Chinese medicines and patent medicines, and now I feel a bit better than before, but I still feel some soreness in my legs. Sometimes, I experience urine splitting and a burning sensation at the urethral opening. This has been causing me great distress. I am also worried about taking indiscriminate medications, which could harm my health. What treatment should I follow in my case?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The treatment of prostatitis is not complicated; the key lies in whether you can persevere. Intermittent treatment often yields half the results with twice the effort. Prostate massage plays an important role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Generally, it is performed once a week, with 4 to 8 consecutive sessions constituting one course of treatment. Minimize control over the perineal area, such as not wearing tight pants or riding a bicycle for too long. Quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
