Patient's question:
Male, 23 years old, with prostatitis treated with three courses, which has been cured. Now it has 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 severely affects the quality of life of patients. Prostatitis accounts for 8% to 25% of patients in urology clinics, and approximately 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 types require different treatments. It is advisable to undergo thorough examinations 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.
