Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urinary splitting, weak urination, lower abdominal pain, and fatigue these past few days. My friend mentioned it might be mild prostatitis. I want to consult about it. How is mild prostatitis treated? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
There is mild prostatitis, which is basically treatable with medication. Prostatitis is often caused by viral infections or frequent prolonged sitting with urine retention. You can get a prostatic examination at a formal urology department and take antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications based on the examination results. It is important to drink more water and urinate more frequently in daily life, which helps in the complete recovery of the condition. If the prostatitis is severe, surgical treatment can be adopted. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
