Recently, symptoms of urinary urgency and pain have reappeared. What kind of medicine is usually recommended for this condition?Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostatodynia), specific prostatitis (caused by pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.), prostatodynia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostatalgia.
