Patient's question:
I feel quite unwell. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease among middle-aged and young men, categorized into bacterial and non-bacterial types based on its cause. Chronic prostatitis itself does not pose serious harm to the body, but some patients may experience discomforting symptoms. Current treatment primarily involves appropriate anti-inflammatory and symptomatic therapies. The former can be administered based on drug sensitivity results, while the latter can utilize α-receptor blockers for treatment. Additionally, local physical therapy may sometimes yield satisfying results, such as sitting in a warm bath for about 15 minutes daily.
