Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my dad has been frequently going to the toilet. He says he doesn't know why, but he just feels the symptoms of urgency, frequent urination, and incomplete urination. I suspect these may be caused by chronic prostatitis. Tomorrow, I plan to take him to the hospital to get an early understanding. What are the symptoms and treatments for chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Recurring chronic prostatitis may cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and urethral inflammation. In such cases, it is essential to promptly visit a formal urology department for a prostate examination. Antibiotics and antiviral anti-inflammatory medications should be taken in a timely manner. Prostatitis often requires surgical treatment, and attention should be paid to local hygiene. After urination and defecation, it is important to clean the area promptly, and underwear should be changed and washed daily.There are several treatment methods for prostatitis, but since the condition varies among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
