Patient's question:
My father was diagnosed with prostatitis four years ago and experienced hematuria again, which was cured after taking medication. Since last November, he has been experiencing frequent urination, which has become increasingly severe. In April of this year, he underwent a thorough examination at the Second Affiliated Hospital, where the professor diagnosed him with benign prostatic hyperplasia. What are some effective treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
The important triggers of prostatitis include smoking, alcohol consumption, a preference for spicy foods, and inappropriate sexual activity. During treatment, drink plenty of water, avoid stimulating foods, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital. In addition to medication, we recommend a physical therapy called warm Sitz bath: Pour about 40% of water (not feeling hot when your hand is submerged) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit in the bath for 10 to 30 minutes each time. When the water temperature drops, add more hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
