Doctor's answer:
Due to the special capsule surrounding the prostate, which acts as a natural drug barrier, it is difficult for drugs to penetrate into the prostate and thoroughly eliminate pathogenic bacteria to completely cure the disease. Therefore, the treatment of prostatitis requires a comprehensive evaluation of a combination of physical intervention and medication to achieve better therapeutic effects. Generally, after treatment, clinical symptoms disappear, and a re-examination of prostatic fluid or a prostate ultrasound is conducted to clarify how the inflammation has subsided. Based on the actual situation, maintenance treatment can be implemented. Additionally, prostatitis patients should quit smoking and drinking, drink more water, urinate frequently, avoid prolonged sitting or suppression, and abstain from unhealthy habits such as masturbation. Relax, build confidence, and actively treat the condition. Wishing you good health!
