Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for about a year. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had prostatitis. I have been taking medication for a year. Now I have stopped taking the medicine. I felt quite good for a while. Now it has started again. I started feeling it again at first.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is located below the bladder and above the pelvic diaphragm. The urethra passes through the center of the prostate, with the prostate surrounding the urethra. Inflammation here is known as prostatitis! If the condition worsens, it can lead to erectile dysfunction, which may then result in infertility, ultimately progressing to prostate cancer.Mechanism: The prostate is covered by a lipid capsule that forms the blood-prostate barrier, making it difficult for most medications to penetrate directly. Therefore, treatment with medication alone often yields unsatisfactory results.
Treatment Features: Currently, various methods such as prostate injection, microwave therapy, extracorporeal shortwave therapy, catheter-guided fusion, and field-effect therapy are available.
Precautions:
- Drink plenty of water, approximately 2000 milliliters per day.
- Avoid alcohol, spicy, and irritating foods.
- Refrain from prolonged sitting.
