Patient's question:
My husband has prostatitis. It's quite serious, but he told me that many men get prostatitis? Is it severe?Doctor's answer:
Young people are prone to developing prostatitis due to poor lifestyle habits such as prolonged sitting, holding urine, and consuming spicy foods. Your symptoms are indeed indicative of prostatitis. Generally, a routine examination of prostatic fluid and a detailed ultrasound of the prostate can confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, Chinese herbal medicines that clear heat, promote diuresis, and relieve stranguria should be taken continuously for four to eight weeks, which usually effectively treats prostatitis. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
