Patient's question:
Male, 23 years old, with prostatitis treated with three courses, cured, now relapsed. What is the probability of granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases among adult males. Although it is not a directly life-threatening disease, it severely affects the quality of life of patients. Prostatitis patients account for 8% to 25% of urology outpatient patients, and approximately 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. It is best to conduct further careful examination to determine the cause—whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial—since different treatments are required for different types. It is better to undergo thorough examination and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to increasing sitting and standing, maintaining regular sexual activity, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
