Patient's question:
I got prostatitis at a young age and lost confidence in life because of it. I would like to consult on what to do about prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to know that prostatitis is not the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); there is no direct relationship between them. Prostatitis does not necessarily require antibiotic treatment; the specific pathological factors and patient's condition must be considered. Factors such as excessive diet, frequent sexual activity, urinary tract inflammation, and psychological factors can all lead to prostatitis. Prostatitis is generally not infectious, and it is not incurable as long as the treatment is appropriate, methods are correct, and both the doctor and patient cooperate, prostatitis can be cured. The prostate can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
