Can Sichuan pepper treat prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, recently I have experienced symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and incomplete urination again. After urinating, there is white fluid flowing from the urethral opening. So I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. Then my friend recommended using Sichuan pepper to treat prostatitis. Hello, can Sichuan pepper treat prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Nuts cannot cure prostatitis. Prostatitis is often caused by viral infections or prolonged urination retention and sitting for long periods. It is advisable to promptly undergo a prostate examination at a formal urology department and take antiviral antibiotics to reduce inflammation. If the prostatitis is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is important to pay attention to local hygiene and clean the area promptly after urination and defecation.
For patients, if the prostatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medications should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of prostatitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
