Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Hypertension is mostly primary, and can be clearly diagnosed in the cardiovascular department of a regular public hospital. Oral antihypertensive drugs can be used for treatment. Prostatitis can be treated with oral Prostamol CR. Daily conditioning is key: drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, get adequate rest, engage in appropriate activities, avoid cold exposure, do not sit for long periods, avoid cycling, do not hold urine, prevent excessive sexual activity and masturbation, and reduce consumption of spicy and irritating foods, as well as smoking and alcohol. Prostatitis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside professional therapy while understanding the importance of it. Proper diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid irritating foods.
