Patient's question:
My husband went to the hospital last month and was diagnosed with prostatitis. He was prescribed medication and took it for two weeks, but there has been no improvement at all. He still feels tired, weak, and has a damp scrotum. Also, over the past two days, he keeps saying he's cold at night and asks me to turn on the air conditioner. We have two blankets on, but I don't feel cold at all. Is this also a symptom of this condition? How can it be cured? How can prostatitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Because of fibrosis, the prostate becomes congested, and it compresses the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. When patients strain excessively during urination, it can cause the blood vessels on the surface of the prostate to rupture, resulting in hematuria again. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is crucial to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, consider treatment based on thorough examination results, and pay attention to a proper diet while avoiding sexual activity.
