Patient's question:
I have been suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia for over a year. During this time, it has kept recurring without stopping. Medication works temporarily, but as soon as I stop taking it, it starts again. I am very troubled. I have tried both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but nothing seems to completely cure it. How can I quickly and effectively treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily caused by the direct extension of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination from other infectious foci in the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors leading to prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, chronic, and perineal trauma, are also contributing factors. Medications generally do not easily penetrate, often leading to prolonged and unresolved conditions; comprehensive evaluation and treatment, including activity and diet, are typically adopted. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Therefore, patients should promptly undergo medication treatment and pay close attention to self-care.
