Patient's question:
Last year, I discovered that I had prostatitis, and I have been taking medication and actively cooperating with treatment ever since. Now, the frequency of urination has improved significantly, and the number of times I need to urinate during sleep is also decreasing. Additionally, the feeling of incomplete urination has almost disappeared. Is this a sign that the prostate is improving? Can I stop taking medication?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis are improving, but recovery has not been fully achieved. Dedicated treatment is required. It is recommended to have a follow-up examination of prostatic fluid at the hospital to check for bacterial infection. If there is inflammation in addition to the infection, dedicated anti-inflammatory medication should be taken for treatment. Combining this with taking traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can yield better results. However, it is necessary to wait for the clinical symptoms to disappear before deciding to have a follow-up examination. Only then can complete self-healing be achieved. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
