Patient's question:
Recently, I've experienced frequent urination and urgency again. I've been getting up many times at night to urinate. I thought it was kidney deficiency and took tonifying herbs, but it didn't improve. In the past two days, urination has also been a bit painful. I went to see a doctor, who said I have prostatitis. How is the prognosis for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis tends to recur frequently and is difficult to heal. However, some patients with prostatitis can recover on their own without understanding the importance of systematic treatment. This is mainly because prostatic fluid has certain antibacterial effects, and irregular prostate massage and drainage can easily lead to recurring prostatitis. Long-term medication is often required. For male patients, it is crucial to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, consider treatment based on thorough examination results, and pay attention to controlling sexual activity while maintaining a positive mood.
