Patient's question:
Since last Thursday, I've been experiencing frequent urination, much more than usual, with multiple urges to urinate in a day even without drinking water. I've also been feeling a strong urge to urinate. Occasionally, during my nap, I've felt feverish and shivered. Today, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. What should I do about the shivering associated with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chills caused by prostatitis may indicate a more severe inflammation. It is best to take anti-inflammatory medication under the guidance of a doctor. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Rest and ensure adequate deep sleep during the day. It is recommended to control sexual activity. During the treatment of prostatitis, it is advisable to apply warm compresses locally. At the same time, it is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular follow-up examinations are recommended. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
