Patient's question:
Recently these days, I've always felt like I can't urinate, and it's not smooth at all when I do. I also have severe lower back pain. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have prostatitis and stones. I want to ask the urology expert if prostatitis and stones are serious?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis stones are not a serious disease. For prostatitis, it is necessary to use medications such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and pain relievers for treatment. For patients who experience frequent recurrence, surgical removal can be considered. For patients with stones, treatment generally depends on the size of the stones and may involve minimally invasive surgery to remove or break up the stones, traditional surgical removal, or other methods. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that match the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
