Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver. Due to work reasons, I have to sit for long periods with suppressed urination, which has led to prostatitis. Every time I urinate, it is extremely painful, and the quality of my sex life has also significantly declined. I am preparing to go to the hospital for treatment. What are the methods for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis includes general treatment, medication, and minimally invasive treatment. In addition to minimally invasive treatment, it is necessary to improve unhealthy lifestyle habits, quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid prolonged sitting and getting cold. Additionally, prostatic fluid should be taken for laboratory diagnosis, and oral antibiotics may be prescribed if necessary. It is best to take a warm bath with potassium permanganate for 10 to 20 minutes every day. Minimally invasive treatment can also be adopted, such as hot compress and light therapy. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the general treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, drugs should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting and riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly!
