Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis. Recently, I have held my urine many times while traveling, and for the past two days, I've had discomfort in my lower abdomen. Now I have frequent urination, urgency, and weak urine flow—going to the bathroom every two or three minutes. I also find it difficult to have a bowel movement and feel like I have premature ejaculation. I can still get erect, but it's not as hard as before, and I feel weak. Last year, I had an ultrasound examination of my prostate, and it measured 22.33.23, which seems to have enlarged. I'm desperate to know how to treat this. I don't expect a complete cure, but I just want to prevent it from getting worse. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis maintenance and treatment can be consistently used by soaking in water to drink. Suggestions: During daily maintenance, it is recommended to stay active, drink more water, avoid prolonged sitting, restrain sexual activities, quit smoking and alcohol, pay attention to private hygiene, and refrain from spicy and irritating foods. This will be more effective for the maintenance and treatment of prostatitis. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
