What to do when prostatitis flares up

Patient's question:

Recently, I often feel the need to urinate and can't empty my bladder completely. When urinating, there is pain, and I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was prostatitis. What should I do when prostatitis recurs?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a common disease among young men, with a high likelihood of self-healing. The key is to obtain proper and timely medical treatment. I would like to recommend a physical therapy to you: warm Sitz bath. Add about 40% of warm water to a basin (the water should not feel scalding when your hand is placed in it), fill the basin about halfway, and sit in it for 10 to 30 minutes each time. When the water temperature decreases, add more hot water to keep it at an effective temperature. Do this once a day, and one 10-day course is recommended. It helps to expel inflammatory secretions. Pay attention to regular lifestyle, exercise, reduce your immune system and metabolism, and promote blood circulation. Maintain good personal hygiene, keep the genital area clean, and prevent changes in harmful habits. Severe infections may require surgical treatment.
