Patient's question:
Hello, what are the symptoms of prostatitis? My husband is a taxi driver. He hardly drinks water when he's out driving to earn more, and it's hard to find restrooms. After driving for two years, he feels his health has declined, as if he has prostatitis. Recently, he's been experiencing frequent urination and an inability to hold it in. Please help me see if these symptoms indicate he has prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
If you hold your urine for a long time, it is easier to experience recurrent prostatic congestion. It is also easier to experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain, and incomplete urination. In terms of treatment, it is important to promptly reduce the likelihood of holding urine for extended periods. Combined with taking traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, a better therapeutic effect can be achieved. Generally, it is recommended to take Wuzi Yanzong Wan, Compound Xuanyu Capsules, and Pule'an Tablets. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
