Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver, and due to work reasons, I have to sit for long periods withholding urine, which has led to prostatitis. Every time I urinate, it is extremely painful, and the quality of my sex life has also significantly declined. I am preparing to go to the hospital for treatment. What are the methods for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis includes general treatment, medication, and minimally invasive treatment. In addition to minimally invasive treatment, it is necessary to improve unhealthy lifestyle habits, quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid sitting for long periods and getting cold, and perform prostatic fluid tests for diagnosis. If necessary, oral antibiotics such as quinolones can be taken. It is best to take a warm bath with potassium permanganate for 10 to 20 minutes every day. Minimally invasive treatment and heat therapy can also be adopted. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the general treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, drugs must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
