Patient's question:
I always have a feeling of urinary retention in my lower abdomen. I have urinary urgency and incomplete urination. Five months ago, I developed prostatitis and took some anti-inflammatory and tonifying herbs for kidney health. Recently, I feel some relief because I previously had occasional lower abdominal pain. Now, I feel my lower abdomen is swollen, and the area around my hips feels warm when touched. Is it possible that it has developed into another condition? I went to the hospital for a urine test and ultrasound. The doctor didn't say anything and just prescribed some urinary tract cleaning medicine.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, first of all, drink more water, do a routine examination of prostatic fluid, culture and drug sensitivity test of prostatic fluid, identify what bacteria are present, and then select the appropriate medication. For those with inflammation, based on the drug sensitivity results, the right antibiotic should be determined.Guidance and suggestions: In addition, α-adrenergic blockers should be strengthened. Harle and Tamsulosin are effective medications for relieving urinary symptoms. You can also take some traditional Chinese medicine, such as Qian Mao Tong Da and Qian Mao Shu Le.
Prostatitis should be avoided from prolonged sitting or overtime work, and regular sexual activity can effectively prevent the condition. There are many treatment methods for prostatitis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, patients need to be diagnosed as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
