Patient's question:
Because of my work-related reasons, I often encounter situations where I feel the need to use the restroom but cannot go. Instead, I have to hold it in until I finish my workday, after which I return to the restroom. However, this frequently leads to holding in urine. I am aware that this is not good for my health. Now, after a thorough check-up at the hospital, I was told that I have prostatitis. I would like to know what methods can be used to treat prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostate congestion is not a disease but a phenomenon. It is a condition caused by reduced blood flow in the prostate tissue.1. Prevention of Cold Exposure
Cold exposure can lead to increased sympathetic nerve activity in the prostate, resulting in elevated urethral pressure. The prostate ducts also constrict, obstructing metabolism. As a result, prostatic fluid accumulation causes prostate congestion. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
