I have always been in good health, but recently I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. I've been visiting the restroom many times a day, but I can't urinate much each time. A few days ago, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I want to know the methods for treating prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
General Treatment: Warm sitz baths can usually alleviate symptoms. Pay attention to diet, and avoid alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods. It is recommended to perform periodic prostate massage therapy.(1) Pay attention to mental well-being and avoid excessive stress.
(2) Adjust diet by avoiding alcohol, excessive spicy foods, and limiting strong tea and coffee. Use caution with certain spiced beverages and foods.

Sexual frequency varies from person to person, and sexual activity should not be interrupted. It is absolutely not advisable to retain semen or use methods that suppress the perineum for contraception.
