Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I previously suffered from prostatitis due to excessive sexual activity. The symptoms began to worsen from the beginning of last year, and it became necessary to seek treatment. I have taken many traditional Chinese medicines and patent medicines, and now the condition has improved compared to before, but I still feel some soreness in my legs. At times, there is a burning sensation at the urethral opening, and sometimes urine diverts. This is causing me great distress. I am also afraid of taking indiscriminate medication, which could harm my health. How should someone in my situation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Prostatitis treatment is not complex; the key lies in whether you can persevere. Intermittent treatment often yields half the results with double the effort. Prostate massage plays an important role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Generally, it is performed once a week, with a course of 4 to 8 sessions. Minimize control over the perineal area, such as not wearing tight pants or riding a bicycle for too long. Quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
