Patient's question:
I am forty years old this year and am a taxi driver. I have been driving taxis for 20 years. It may be due to the nature of the job, but recently I have been experiencing discomfort in my prostate. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, but they haven't diagnosed anything yet. I would like to ask how long it takes to treat the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Considering the situation you described, it is possible that you may have prostatitis. In your case, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination. A thorough ultrasound check can help determine if you have prostatitis. If the diagnosis confirms prostatitis, it is important to actively pursue treatment. The specific duration of treatment varies from person to person, as prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
