Patient's question:
Sexual dysfunction, difficulty in achieving an erection, was carefully examined at a urology hospital, and the result was found to be prostatitis. The prostate antigen test was positive, along with balanoposthitis. At the urology hospital, microwave and shortwave treatments were administered for several days, but there was no effect. The treatment costs are high. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is an infectious condition caused by bacteria entering the preputial cavity. It is primarily due to poor hygiene, unclean external genitalia, and may be exacerbated by the friction of damp underwear during physical exertion, making it easier for pathogens to cause inflammation. In the early stages, potassium permanganate or boric acid solution can be used to clean the affected area. If this remains ineffective, a thorough examination is necessary to identify the actual pathogen, and medication should be administered based on the sensitivity of the pathogen to drugs. Prostatitis is a relatively chronic condition, a male disease that can be alleviated. Patients need to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
