Patient's question:
Recently, when I went to the nearby hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said that my relative had male prostatitis. My friend told me that men with prostatitis should not wear underwear, otherwise it will relieve male prostatitis. Can't men with prostatitis wear underwear to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There is no such principle; normal underwear should be used to treat prostatitis and completely eliminate the cause. Generally, excessive foreskin is the most common cause of prostatitis. It is necessary to quit as soon as possible, cut off sexual activity, prevent infections, avoid smoking, drinking, spicy foods, and long periods of sitting. Then, oral medications for prostatitis, such as Wutong and Wenglitong, can be taken. Typically, oral treatment for one year can lead to self-healing. It is best to provide protection and solutions. Normal underwear is recommended.
