Patient's question:
I am a patient with prostatitis. Recently, the doctor recommended performing a prostatic irrigation. Since I don't really understand what prostatic irrigation is, I feel quite uneasy. Therefore, I would like to consult about the questions related to prostatic irrigation. Thank you for your help.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily caused by pathogenic bacteria descending through the urinary tract, and some unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as frequent masturbation, prolonged sitting, and a preference for spicy and stimulating foods, can also lead to the recurrence of prostatitis. Therefore, the first step in treatment is to conduct a thorough examination of prostatic fluid to help confirm the diagnosis. For the treatment of prostatitis, intravenous antibiotics can be administered while also quitting unhealthy habits to facilitate a complete recovery. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
