Patient's question:
I am 37 years old this year and have prostatitis. I have had this disease for more than a year. In this year, I have only been treated conservatively with medication, but the condition has not improved much in more than a year. So, I would like to ask how long it generally takes to treat prostatitis with medication?Doctor's answer:
Patients with prostatitis generally need to take medication according to their condition. For severe cases, the medication duration is longer, while for milder cases, a short course of treatment is usually sufficient, and further medication may not be necessary. Mainly, dietary habits still need to be paid attention to. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers, and especially avoid drinking beer, as beer often tends to trigger prostatitis. Rest more, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently. Daily urine output should exceed 2000 milliliters. Prostatitis is prone to recurring.
