What should patients with prostatitis pay attention to?

Patient's question:

Going to the bathroom over and over again, each time only a few drops of urine, but still unable to hold back, because if you don't hold back, you'll feel like your bladder is full. My body also doesn't allow me to hold in urine. Then, after a thorough examination, I was told that I have prostatitis. What should a prostatitis patient pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with prostatitis may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and incomplete urination again. Therefore, if prostatitis is suspected, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a careful examination and laboratory test of prostatic fluid. Once a definitive diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment should primarily be based on the examination results, and additional medication should be prescribed accordingly. For example, if there is a bacterial infection, broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used. At the same time, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting and not to consume spicy or irritating foods. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately.
