Patient's question:
What should I do if I have prostatitis? After a thorough examination, I was diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis and prostate calcification. The main symptoms are frequent urination, every 1 or 2 hours, and weakness in the waist and legs. Last year, another thorough examination showed the same bacterial prostatitis. The doctor said it wasn't severe, but my frequent urination is terrible. I go to the bathroom three or four times at night, which is very annoying. This year, starting from February, I've been experiencing frequent urination again, needing to urinate every hour and a half. Additionally, my kidneys feel swollen, especially after drinking alcohol, when urination becomes even worse. I always feel the urge to go to the bathroom, and I can actually urinate.Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination again, which are all symptoms of prostatitis. It can also affect sperm production in the seminal vesicles, leading to the recurrence of male infertility. In medicine, it is recommended to supplement with zinc, selenium, and protein to stabilize prostatitis. Additionally, it can reduce the immunity and vitality of reproductive cells, lowering male fertility. Daily habits should include quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and reducing the intake of spicy and greasy foods. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
