Patient's question:
I always have a feeling of holding urine in my lower abdomen. I have urinary urgency and a sense of incomplete urination. Five months ago, I developed prostatitis and took some anti-inflammatory and tonifying herbs for the kidneys. Recently, I feel some relief because I previously had occasional lower abdominal discomfort. Now, I feel my lower abdomen is swollen, and the area around the large hip feels warm. Is it possible that it has developed into another condition? I went to the hospital for a urine test and ultrasound. The doctor didn't say anything and just prescribed some drugs for clearing the urinary tract.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, first of all, drink more water, do a routine examination of prostatic fluid, culture and drug sensitivity test of prostatic fluid, identify what bacteria are present, and choose the appropriate medication. For those with inflammation, based on the drug sensitivity results, determine the appropriate antibiotic. Guideline suggestions: Additionally, it is recommended to enhance α-adrenergic blockers, which are effective in relieving urinary symptoms and can be taken with appropriate traditional Chinese medicine. Prostatitis should be avoided from sitting for long periods and staying up late; regular sexual activity can effectively prevent it. In addition, during the treatment of prostatitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
