Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Additionally, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's some slight pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please advise on how to treat prostatitis and ensure peace of mind?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and there are many causes of it. Long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, spicy and irritating foods, prolonged sexual activity, or frequent sexual intercourse, as well as unclean sexual experiences, can all lead to prostatitis.The treatment principles involve using antibiotics in combination with physical therapy to accelerate drug absorption and quickly achieve therapeutic goals. The dietary approach should focus on light, easily digestible foods, with an emphasis on eating more fruits and vegetables while reducing spicy and irritating foods. Quitting smoking and alcohol can also help increase blood flow to the prostate. Maintain a normal sex life according to individual circumstances, avoiding both excessive indulgence and abstinence. Avoid holding urine for long periods and seek timely treatment for urinary and perinatal infections.
