Patient's question:
Recently, I often saw my dad going to the toilet. He would rush to the bathroom in less than half an hour and seemed quite urgent. I asked him, and he told me that he felt some pain when urinating. He said he had prostatitis. I wanted to take my dad to get treated. What are the methods for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your father's symptoms, it could be a manifestation of prostatitis. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for a thorough examination of the prostate ultrasound and prostatic fluid to determine the cause of the infection. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, you can consider taking oral cephalosporin antibiotics. Additionally, taking traditional Chinese medicine oral preparations can enhance the effectiveness. Medication should be taken under the guidance of a local doctor. Prostatitis patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while undergoing symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat.
