Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. I can't count how many times I have to go to the toilet every day. Later, my wife said, "Let's go to the hospital for a health check-up." After the health check-up at the hospital, the doctor said it was prostatitis, and my white blood cell count was high. What is the reason for high white blood cells in prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis accompanied by elevated white blood cell count indicates a bacterial infection. It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications promptly for treatment. Cephalosporin antibiotics can be considered, as they are effective in alleviating these symptoms. During treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water to enhance urine metabolism and reduce local inflammation in the prostate. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical attention promptly, and treatment should be based on thorough examination results.
