Patient's question:
Occasionally, when I have stomach pain, I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, including an ultrasound. It's easy for the prostate to become tense. During the urological examination, the doctor checked the prostatic fluid and said it was chronic prostatitis with low lecithin corpuscles, white blood cells, red blood cells, epithelial cells, and sperm.The doctor prescribed medication for me to take for three weeks, and then I returned for a follow-up check. The lecithin corpuscles were slightly reduced, and there were still some white blood cells. The doctor prescribed another medication for another three weeks. Today, I went for another follow-up check, and the doctor said to continue taking the medication. He then prescribed a new medication, but I didn't buy it!
How long should chronic prostatitis be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of chronic prostatitis are relatively complex, commonly including infection, reflux, immune function endocrine disorders, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. The detailed pathogenesis is not very clear, but its patterns of onset are characterized by prolonged duration, fluctuating severity, and alternating periods of improvement and exacerbation. These characteristics often severely undermine the patient's treatment confidence and alleviate their psychological stress, leading to the perception that chronic prostatitis is difficult to treat. Therefore, it is recommended that you be patient when treating prostatitis and avoid haste.
