Patient's question:
My husband told me yesterday that he has been frequently needing to urinate recently. He suspects he might have prostatitis due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I want to consult a doctor about what medication men with frequent urination due to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia should take. What kind of medication is recommended?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your husband's preliminary diagnosis of chronic prostatitis should be manageable. If possible, you can go to the urology department of a local hospital for a follow-up examination, including a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the urinary system and a prostatic fluid test. Additionally, oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as alpha-blockers, can be taken. A typical treatment course lasts 4-6 weeks. It is also recommended to abstain from alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and prevent prolonged sitting. There are several treatment methods for male urological diseases, but since the condition of each patient is different, the diagnostic approach may vary. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
