Patient's question:
My dad is 77 years old and was admitted to the hospital because he couldn't urinate. After thorough examinations, the doctor suspected he had prostate cancer and recommended a needle biopsy. However, after taking medicine for two days, he was able to remove the catheter and urinate on his own. It didn't hurt, and he didn't feel any discomfort. Doctor, is a needle biopsy still necessary in this case? Is the needle biopsy harmful?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the urinary system, and dietary attention is required. Avoid strong stimulating foods and greasy foods. Oral Cefixime Suppositories should be taken, while daily adequate exercise must be maintained. Otherwise, avoid overeating. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential, appropriate medication should be used, and patients should maintain a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
