Patient's question:
The elderly person at home recently doesn't know why their spirits have been particularly low, and they always stay in the bathroom for a long time before coming out. At first, I thought it would improve over time. Recently, he told me that urinating has always been very painful. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was caused by some problems with the prostate, requiring a minimally invasive surgery. What should be paid attention to when having a minimally invasive surgery for elderly prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after minimally invasive surgery for prostatitis, it is important to pay attention to rest and hygiene, avoid strenuous activities, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. A diet based on light foods is recommended, along with increased fluid intake to promote urination. Preoperatively, thorough examinations must be conducted, and the surgery should be performed in a reputable hospital following the doctor's guidance. This type of surgery does not require hospitalization, as it is an inflammation caused by bacterial infection due to poor personal hygiene. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
