Patient's question:
Where to go for treatment of the prostate? Recently, I experienced frequent urination and urgency, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said that it was a prostate disease. How should this be treated? What methods are effective?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated promptly, can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which affects bladder control and prevents the bladder from emptying completely, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is an excellent medium for bacterial growth, and with damaged bladder mucosal defense mechanisms, it makes it highly susceptible to urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If treatment is not thorough at this stage, conditions like pyelonephritis or hydronephrosis may develop, which can then progress to nephritis and ultimately lead to uremia. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
