Patient's question:
The first diagnosis was on January 27, 2019, due to discomfort in the lower abdomen and left testicle. A thorough examination revealed 4 to 6 dense cells, diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. The treatment involved injections for 5 days, medication for 2 weeks, and Halar for 3 weeks. After a month, a follow-up test showed negative dense cells, but then the count was 127. The medication was continued for about 2 weeks, totaling 20 days, when the symptoms recurred. The follow-up test showed 1 to 2 dense cells and 15 to 20 white blood cells. Currently, another 7-day injection course is being administered, and all medications are being restarted. Additionally, I am currently looking for a good treatment plan. No further reexamination has been conducted since the symptoms have not recurred. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I don't understand why you took so many medications but only did a urine test. For prostate issues, a routine prostate examination and a detailed prostate ultrasound are necessary. Your current description and treatment approach are off, so a re-examination is needed before discussing specific treatment measures. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, for male patients, it's crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood.
