Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very troublesome. How is prostatitis treated? How much does the treatment for prostatitis generally cost?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is often characterized by discomfort during urination, urine splitting, hesitation to urinate, frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain in the urethra during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be sticky secretions at the urethral opening, and the sensation of difficulty urinating may recur. There may also be a sense of fullness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus. The pain and fullness are relieved when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs/benches for a long time. Sexual dysfunction may also occur. Prostatic fluid examination can be used for diagnosis. Western medicine treatment is based on antibiotic therapy, while traditional Chinese medicine is based on oral Chinese herbal medicine. Sitz baths and prostate massage also have a certain effect on treating prostatitis. Pay attention to preventing colds in daily life. Drink more water, urinate more frequently. Relax more, avoid overexertion. Have regular sexual activity. Avoid sitting for too long.
