Patient's question:
In the past two months, I've been feeling lower back pain and aching shoulders and knees, often feeling cold in my hands and feet. Every time I urinate, it's very painful, and I have frequent and urgent urination. My prostate is severely red and swollen, and my libido has decreased significantly. I went to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up, and the doctor said I have prostatitis and need treatment. What should I eat for chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis includes two parts: chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Among them, chronic bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by pathogen transmission, based on retrograde transmission, with staphylococcus being the main pathogen. It often has a history of recurrent urinary tract infections or persistent presence of pathogenic bacteria in prostatic massage fluid. Non-bacterial prostatitis is a complex inflammatory condition caused by various different reasons and triggers, involving intricate pathological changes related to autoimmune, neuroendocrine factors.
