Patient's question:
I have had chronic prostatitis for over a year. I have tried many different treatments in between, including both Western and Chinese medicine, but it keeps recurring. Why is this condition so difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a relatively complex chronic disease. If the urine concentration is high, it can stimulate the prostate and dissolve blood, reducing the concentration of urine. With a lower urine concentration, it will not cause strong stimulation to the prostate. In daily life, it is important to drink more water, urinate frequently, and avoid holding in urine. This can also have negative effects on the bladder, apart from the prostate. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the occurrence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
