Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, which was also caused by buttock pain and frequent nighttime urination. After seeing a doctor and taking medication, I felt like the symptoms were gone after about a week. However, later on, I started to feel a gradual tingling sensation again, especially after sitting for a long time. Yesterday, after eating spicy food and playing basketball, I felt even more uncomfortable today. I started experiencing pain while sitting, but there are no other symptoms. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Sitting for long periods and consuming spicy foods can exacerbate the symptoms of prostatitis. It is recommended not to sit for extended periods and to take appropriate breaks to walk around. Avoid spicy foods and consume more fruits and vegetables. Engage in regular exercise and do not overexert your body. Pay attention to rest. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
