Patient's question:
I used to have prostatitis. For a year, I took some medication, and it eliminated the frequent urination and urgency, but I still felt a fullness in my rectum, low libido, weak erection, and nocturia—about one to two times at night! What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is in a relatively special position. Treatment requires the use of professional instruments to allow medication to penetrate the dense capsule, and it also needs to consider the targeted medication and treatment. The prostate is close to the seminal vesicles and the posterior urethra. If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it may spread to other organs, especially the seminal vesicles. Quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, stay active, and maintain a light diet. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Patients should receive symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
