Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 20 years old this year. Because I want to join the army this year, but I heard from relatives and friends who just came out of the army that they all got prostatitis, so I am a little hesitant. I don't know if every soldier will get it. I want to know if prostatitis is a occupational disease in the army?Doctor's answer:
This does not qualify as a military occupational disease. Prostatitis is a common and frequently occurring condition, and the vast majority of men may develop it. Factors such as prolonged sitting, irregular diet, smoking, drinking beer, irregular sexual activity, and frequent masturbation can all lead to prostatitis. Therefore, it is best to take preventive measures in these aspects. If you suspect prostatitis, it is important to actively undergo thorough examination and treatment. The condition of prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
