Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of your text, with the line breaks preserved as instructed:"Your body has been healthy until recently when symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination reappeared. You went to the hospital for diagnosis, and it was found to be prostatitis. You considered waiting for a while to treat it. How long can it be delayed?"
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to eat more catfish, take sitz baths, apply local acupuncture to the prostate, drink more water, and implement physical therapy for the prostate. If the symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to a hospital's urology department to test the prostatic fluid, understand the condition, and then take oral anti-inflammatory drugs and add treatments like tamsulosin. Untreated inflammation of the prostate can lead to conditions such as prostate cancer, epididymitis, orchitis, and seminal vesiculitis. It is also one of the causes of sexual dysfunction. It is not ruled out that it may be non-bacterial prostatitis or caused by bacterial infection, and it is also related to one's own anxiety and restlessness. It is not advisable to delay treatment excessively. Treatment generally lasts for more than 6 weeks.
