Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. I don't usually drink beer, don't sit often, and have a sexual intercourse habit. A few days ago, I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a thorough examination and was told I have chronic prostatitis. Initially, I was treated with traditional Chinese medicine for 2 months, but the effect was not good. I have been experiencing damp scrotum, urinary burning, lower abdominal and anal fullness, and occasional pain in the glans. What are the conventional treatment plans for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is difficult to cure completely. Symptoms such as mental exhaustion are all brought on by frequent sexual activity and are temporary. There is no need to take any oral medication. You only need to abstain from sexual activity and ensure adequate rest, and these symptoms will be relieved. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of the condition. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
