Patient's question:
I am thirty years old this year. I found out in the past two months that I have prostatitis. This disease makes my daily life very troublesome. I feel that my wife doesn't pay much attention to me recently. Moreover, the doctor said that if this condition is not well-managed, it may become more serious. How should prostatitis be managed?Doctor's answer:
Patients with prostatitis should primarily focus on drinking more water and promoting diuresis, as this helps in the complete recovery from prostatitis. It is crucial to avoid the habit of holding urine. If patients experience symptoms of frequent urination and urgency again, they must use some heat-clearing and diuretic medications as soon as possible, such as finasteride, to assist in the treatment. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
