Patient's question:
I not only suffer from chronic prostatitis but also have the issue of benign prostatic hyperplasia, although the condition is relatively mild. Sometimes I experience frequent urination and urgency, and at other times, I have penile pain. I have been taking medication and refraining from sexual activity. How can benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis with fibrosis is a relatively common disease among middle-aged and elderly men. Currently, the symptoms are quite severe, and the therapeutic effect after medication is not very good, which suggests that the medication may not be targeting the root cause. It is necessary to find a better hospital for further examination. Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia should be considered, and if they are severe, surgery can be an option. In addition to medication, it is essential to identify the underlying causes. Factors such as excessive sexual activity and prolonged sitting with urine retention must be avoided.
