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 helps, but as soon as I stop taking it, it starts again. It's very frustrating. I've tried both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but nothing has completely cured 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 of infectious foci from other parts of 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 the prostate, often leading to prolonged and unresolved conditions. Comprehensive evaluation and treatment, including lifestyle and dietary adjustments, are typically adopted. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Therefore, patients should promptly undergo medication and pay close attention to self-care.
