Patient's question:
Go to the city's top three hospitals for a thorough examination, as I have chronic prostatitis. Before that, I had urinary urgency, frequent urination, and a split stream, but no nocturia. When I went to the hospital, I was prescribed medications for treating the prostate, anti-inflammatory drugs, and tonifying herbs. After taking them for a few days, the condition didn't improve; instead, I developed nocturia. For more than a month, I've been urinating every night. Now, I still have urinary urgency and frequent urination, and the nocturia has worsened. Should I go to the hospital again to get more medication?Doctor's answer:
The situation may be chronic prostatitis, with recurring symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and urine splitting. Due to the special lipid membrane surrounding the prostate, it is difficult for drugs to penetrate and enter the gland, making treatment relatively challenging. For prostatitis, a comprehensive treatment approach should be adopted, in addition to oral Chinese and Western medications, other measures such as prostate massage and microwave therapy can also be implemented. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with prostatitis should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives.
