Patient's question:
Prostatitis has been treated with Tansuo Xin sustained-release tablets for over 40 days. I started feeling uncomfortable in August last year and was initially treated for a urinary tract infection, during which I took many medications. Later, it was confirmed that I had prostatitis and the treatment began. As soon as I started taking the medication, the transparent liquid discharge after urination stopped. During this period, I tried the cold therapy and abstained for 8 days, reducing the frequency of urination and gradually easing the symptoms. Now, I urinate once every 3 days, and the frequency is gradually decreasing to once every 2 days. After ejaculation, I feel comfortable the next day most of the time. Recently, I feel like I need to ejaculate every 2 days, and after ejaculation, the urethra feels much more comfortable, and the frequency of urination has eased to the point where it's almost normal. I am only 19 years old, and my family doesn't want me to take too many medications. How long should I continue this treatment? Should I continue with the cold therapy? Why do I feel better after ejaculation? I no longer wake up at night due to urination, and I don't have nocturia. The frequency of urination has improved significantly. At its worst, I didn't have nocturia either. The only symptom that remains is a burning sensation in the buttocks when sitting.Doctor's answer:
Consider the relationship with mild prostatitis, and the following recommendations are suggested: drink more water, urinate frequently, pay attention to rest, increase activity, avoid cold exposure, do not sit for long periods, avoid cycling, do not hold urine, prevent excessive sexual activity and intercourse, eat less spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Eat more honey to maintain regular bowel movements. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence, so patients should take medication according to symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
