Patient's question:
I feel discomfort in my genital area, a burning sensation at the urethral opening, and no libido. I feel like I have a pelvic infection. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as prostatitis, which is slightly bacterial prostatitis, caused by Escherichia coli. I have frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and sometimes lower back pain. Now I take medication every day, but the effect is not obvious. Is it prostatitis? Is there a good method to cure it?Doctor's answer:
1. Chronic prostatitis is not the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia.2. A large portion of chronic prostatitis patients have sterile forms.
3. In clinical diagnosis, the majority of chronic prostatitis cases are non-bacterial prostatitis, which is non-communicable. Additionally, a small portion of bacterial infections are classified as non-specific bacterial prostatitis.
4. Prostatitis is one of the common inflammatory diseases. Without consistent treatment, it cannot be cured. Failing to pay attention to prevention and health care after recovery will also hinder treatment. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
