Patient's question:
Male, 23 years old, has undergone three courses of treatment for prostatitis and has recovered. It has now recurred. What is the probability of granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases among adult males. Although it is not a direct life-threatening disease, it significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Approximately 8% to 25% of patients in urology clinics suffer from prostatitis, and about 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. It is best to conduct further detailed examinations to determine the cause—whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial—since different treatments are required for different types. It is advisable to undergo thorough testing and then receive targeted treatment for better outcomes. Pay attention to increasing sitting and standing activities, maintaining regular sexual life, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
