Patient's question:
My grandfather is now over 60 years old. He has always been in relatively good health, but in the past two years, he has developed prostatitis. He doesn't want to go to the hospital for treatment, but we really need to take him there. Hello, how is prostatitis treated in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis in the elderly is often accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia. In clinical diagnosis, it primarily manifests as symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and difficulty urinating. You need to have a prostate routine examination at a private hospital in your local area. Confirm whether the prostatitis is infectious or non-infectious, and then treat the underlying cause. If it is infectious, antibiotics should be used for treatment. If it is non-infectious, symptomatic treatment is required. In addition to timely treatment, patients with prostatitis also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover more quickly from the condition. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
