Patient's question:
In recent years, the symptoms of frequent urination and urgency have been quite severe. I didn't realize I had a disease at first, but it later severely affected my life. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the detailed test results showed that I had prostatitis. After taking many medications, there was some relief, but now it seems to have recurred. How can prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis does not require antibiotic treatment. Massage, hot Sitz baths, physical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, and other treatments can be used. However, the course of treatment is long, and the results are not ideal. Therefore, it is recommended to visit a urological hospital early for a thorough examination and diagnosis, followed by targeted treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
