Is it okay to not take medication for my prostatitis now?

Patient's question:

Suffered from the illness for 2 years, taking medication for about 1 year. Current symptoms: unable to sit for long periods, discomfort in the perineum when sitting for too long, occasional lower abdominal pain. No symptoms if not sitting all day, otherwise everything else is normal. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, do you still need to take medication?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a chronic condition with a prolonged treatment duration, requiring relatively strict management. There is a special tissue structure surrounding the prostate, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate into its interior. This is also a primary reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis. Currently, clinical diagnosis primarily relies on physical therapy combined with appropriate medication to achieve better outcomes than the body's natural healing process.
It is recommended that you revisit the hospital for follow-up treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, a personalized treatment plan should be formulated based on your specific condition to ensure a thorough recovery. Additionally, self-care measures should be taken in daily life, such as: drinking more water, getting adequate rest, increasing physical activity, avoiding cold exposure, not holding in urine, and preventing excessive sexual activity.
