Patient's question:
I have recently had some issues with urination, and gradually it has expanded to frequent urination and urgency, sometimes accompanied by a sense of fullness and pain. I suspect I might have prostatitis. This condition should not be very serious and should have a possibility of being treatable. What are the treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can stabilize symptoms. Oral or suppository indomethacin is commonly used. Traditional Chinese medicine, which employs anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing, detoxifying, and softening herbs, has also shown certain effectiveness. Allopurinol can reduce uric acid levels in the blood and prostatic fluid. Theoretically, as a free radical scavenger, it can thoroughly eliminate free radical components, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. It can be considered an adjunctive treatment. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
