Patient's question:
For the past few days, I have been holding my urine, and recently I've been feeling unwell. There are signs of a fever, and I often experience bloating in my lower abdomen. When I urinate, it hurts, and my urine is often bloody. What methods should be used to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Transurethral resection of the prostate with electrovaporization is currently a common method for treating prostatitis. It offers advantages such as minimal psychological trauma, less pain, rapid recovery, and shorter hospital stays. It addresses the previously known issues of the traditional prostatectomy, which involved significant psychological trauma, extensive skin incisions, and prolonged bladder irrigation. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical care immediately, undergo thorough examinations, and then consider treatment options. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important preventive measures.
