Today I went for a check-up and was told I have prostatitis. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: Frequent urination during the day, feeling the need to urinate even when there's a little, often getting up from bed to use the restroom while lying down to look at my phone at night, and urinating again at 7 or 8 a.m. the next morning after falling asleep. After sitting for a long time, my lower back starts to feel a bit sore. There are no other pain symptoms, and I noticed this condition around the beginning of 2017. I'm only 23 years old, and it's said that this condition is quite difficult to treat. I haven't graduated from university yet, and I wonder what I'll do in the future. I'm the only child my parents have, and when I have fewer classes, I usually stay in the dorm to research and play the guitar. The doctor mentioned that my foreskin is too long, completely covering the front of my penis. The detailed examination results of my prostatic fluid are as follows: Color and consistency: Milky white, Spermatozoa: None, WBC: None, Pus cells: A few, RBC: A few, Trichomonas: Negative, Prostatic granulocytes: A few, Amyloid bodies: A few. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is a chronic condition, primarily characterized by abnormalities in urination and discomfort in the lower abdomen. If carefully examined and actively treated, clinical experience generally suggests a combination of Eastern and Western medicine for treatment. It is important for patients to maintain a balance between rest and activity, and to avoid prolonged sitting. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
