Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for two years. Taking some medicine helps, but when I stop taking it, the symptoms come back. I've gotten used to frequent urination after going to the bathroom a few times. I can't fully empty my bladder, and I feel the urge to urinate again right after I finish. Long-term medication also harms my body. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause patients to experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and dribbling urine. Prostatitis is prone to occur and has a relatively long treatment period, but it can be suppressed through medication. It is recommended to drink more water, avoid holding urine, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and promote the excretion of urine. Appropriate physical exercise should be carried out, and long periods of sitting should be avoided. Personal hygiene should be maintained, and regular cleaning should be done. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment.
