Patient's question:
I always have a feeling of holding urine in my lower abdomen. I have urinary urgency and 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 pain. Now, I feel my lower abdomen is swollen, and the area around my hips feels warm when touched. Is it possible that it has developed into another disease? I went to the hospital for a urine test and ultrasound. The doctor didn't say anything specific and just prescribed some urinary tract clearing medicine.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.Guidance and suggestions: In addition, it is also necessary to enhance α-adrenergic blockers, such as Harle and Tamsulosin, which are effective in alleviating urinary symptoms. You can also take traditional Chinese medicine, including Qian Mao Tong Da and Qian Mao Shu Le.
Prostatitis should be avoided from prolonged sitting and overtime work. Regular sexual activity can effectively prevent the condition.
There are many treatment methods for prostatitis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods adopted also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to treat the condition accordingly.
