Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. From 1995 to now, I have been taking Prostamol tablets, which I took for two years. After 2000, I stopped taking them. Now I have frequent urination, and it's still not treated. What should I do about prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic being more common in clinical diagnosis. Relying solely on medication for treatment does not yield significant results. Early treatment should be provided based on careful examination results, offering suitable treatment plans for the specific condition. In daily life, attention should be paid to self-regulating the prostate, drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying active, refraining from spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, and controlling sexual activity. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
