What is the reason for the shrinkage of the prostate caused by prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Originally, it was cystitis, with symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. After taking medication and drinking medicine, the urgency and incomplete emptying of the bladder disappeared. However, I still need to urinate every hour or so, sometimes every 20-30 minutes. There is discomfort in the triangular area, and sometimes there are intermittent pains. How should I treat this? Is it prostatitis? Some doctors say it is prostatitis. I only know that prostatitis can cause prostate enlargement, but how can it also cause the prostate to shrink?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it's best to follow a regular treatment plan. The prostate also has congenital individual differences. You likely have prostatitis. It's recommended that you drink more plain water, especially a large glass of warm water on an empty stomach every morning. Eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking alcohol. You can also take a phase of Qianliekang or Qianmaoshutong together. Massaging the prostate frequently can also help. If it doesn't work, surgery may be necessary. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it's crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment.
