Patient's question:
I carefully checked and found prostatitis. The doctor said it's recommended to do heat therapy, but I'm not really keen on it. Is it harmful if I don't treat the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, an inflammation of the male prostate, can lead to an enlarged prostate if not treated promptly, making it difficult for urine to be completely expelled. Prostatitis is divided into four types: acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis. If the prostatitis is bacterial in nature, antibiotics must be used for treatment. If it is non-bacterial prostatitis, exercise can help improve chronic conditions over time. It is recommended to maintain a positive attitude during treatment and reduce the frequency of sexual activity. Physical exercise should be avoided as it can easily lead to urinary tract infections, such as pyelonephritis.
