Patient's question:
Hello, I've been feeling particularly sore and swollen in my lower back for a while. However, I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I searched online and found it might be symptoms of prostatitis. Now I've confirmed that I do have prostatitis. Could you please tell me how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Recurring inflammation of the prostate can lead to lower back soreness and pain, perineal pain, frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, increased nocturia, lower limb weakness, dizziness, and tinnitus. In severe cases, it may cause anxiety, depression, and even sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and other symptoms. The treatment of prostatitis is primarily determined by symptoms, with the use of antibiotics and herbal plant preparations. Patients who have the condition can also benefit from physical therapy, such as microwave treatment. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
