Patient's question:
I have had prostatic fluid for several years. I usually experience some urinary frequency and a split stream when urinating, and there is also a slightly unpleasant odor in the genital area. I have been taking medication, but the treatment has not been very effective. Recently, I have noticed that my symptoms have improved. Could you please help me evaluate the treatment for my prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of prostatitis, it is important to maintain confidence, as prostatitis can be treated. For bacterial prostatitis, it is necessary to identify symptoms caused by infection and use appropriate antibiotics. Additionally, α-adrenergic blockers can be used to alleviate symptoms.For recurring urinary pain, pain-relieving medications can be used. Locally, heat therapy, warm water sitz baths, and physical therapies can also be applied to assist in recovery. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment.
