Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing frequent urination, urinary urgency, and redness and swelling of the prostate. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis, and I was told that I have prostatitis. How should I treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is related to factors such as pathogen infection, high sexual frequency, excessive sexual activity, urinary dysfunction, and psychological factors. When taking anti-inflammatory drugs like levofloxacin orally, it is important to avoid alcohol, tobacco, (stimulating), and greasy foods to prevent harm to recovery. Regular consumption of pumpkin seeds is highly beneficial for protecting the prostate and treating prostatitis. Additionally, maintaining a stable psychological state and avoiding excessive mental stress is also crucial.
