Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling uncomfortable with frequent urination and urgency. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis and recommended intravenous treatment. Sometimes, I also experience some pain when defecating.What kind of help I need: Hello! In my case, how many days of intravenous treatment do I need? How long does it usually take to treat prostatitis? Is there any other auxiliary treatment needed? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have prostatitis, but since you treated it promptly, it hasn't developed into chronic prostatitis and will improve quickly without needing to worry. Follow the doctor's advice to receive intravenous fluids on schedule, pay attention to keeping your feet and waist warm, soak your feet daily, and visit the traditional Chinese medicine department to get some herbal decoctions for conditioning. It will generally improve within about 10 days. However, in the future, be mindful of preventing colds and protecting your kidneys, as prostatitis may sometimes flare up. In fact, having prostatitis is not something to fear. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as it is treated promptly in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
