How can chronic prostatitis with abdominal distension and pain be treated?Doctor's answer:
Considering you might be treated in a private hospital. Based on your situation, the first recommendation is to have a check-up on your prostate at a regular public hospital's urology department. My diagnosis is chronic prostatitis, and clinically, the treatment is primarily symptomatic. It is possible to alleviate the condition without striving for a complete cure of the prostate, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used symptomatically, and patients should also maintain a light diet and avoid foods.
