Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with bacterial chronic prostatitis after a thorough examination at a top-tier hospital a month ago. After treatment, my white blood cell count returned to normal yesterday. I've been feeling a bit anxious lately because I've been urinating frequently. Since I'm a hairdresser, I've been quite busy during the Chinese New Year, working for several hours straight. What should I do? Will it flare up again?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is often necessary to consider overexertion leading to a weakened immune system, which can cause this condition to reappear. It is recommended that in such situations, one should seek professional urological care. First, a thorough examination of prostatic fluid and a routine urinalysis should be conducted to observe any signs of the condition. Additionally, it is important to avoid overwork and overtime. Besides medication for treating prostatitis, patients should also pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities.
