Patient's question:
I have been experiencing pain while urinating recently, and it feels like I can't urinate properly. Sometimes when I do, the urine is a yellowish or even reddish color. Additionally, I've been having a fever and feeling extremely weak. It's said that I have prostatitis. What methods can be used to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate with electric loop is a common method for treating prostatitis. It is also suitable for elderly and frail patients or those with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or coronary heart disease. It stabilizes the previously known characteristics of transurethral resection of the prostate, such as significant psychological trauma, extensive skin incisions, and prolonged bladder irrigation. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. During treatment, symptomatic medication should be used, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
