Patient's question:
I haven't been able to urinate well recently. It seems like I might have a problem with my prostate. My father had prostatitis before, and he has already had surgery. But I'm still so young. How can prostatitis be treated? Do I also need surgery?Doctor's answer:
You currently have a relatively severe case of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which has already led to urinary difficulties and urinary tract obstruction. In this situation, I recommend that you start with medication treatment for a period of time. If the medication treatment is not effective, we can then consider surgical treatment. You can decide to use α-blockers and finasteride in combination to treat BPH, while also taking a short course of antibiotics. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
