Patient's question:
I have a friend who has been my close friend for over ten years. More than two years ago, he was thoroughly examined and found to have prostatitis because his wife, who is abroad taking care of their children and has no one to manage their meals, always had fluctuating symptoms due to constant care. Then a colleague sold a massage device and said that it is helpful for prostatitis. I would like to ask if it is true?Doctor's answer:
In prostatitis, the main causative factors of Type I and Type II prostatitis are pathogenic infections. The pathogens invade the prostate through urine, leading to infection. Since it is a bacterial infection, using a massager is not very effective. Although prostatitis is relatively easy to treat, it is extremely difficult to cure, and the condition is prone to recurrence. It is recommended that patients should not purchase medication from pharmacies on their own, as some drugs only provide short-term relief for certain symptoms. Long-term use can have side effects on the body.
