Patient's question:
I realized something was wrong about last year, mainly the symptoms being frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination! (especially after drinking beer). At first, I didn't take it seriously, but over time, I felt something was off, so I went to the hospital last month for a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. The report showed: 3 lecithin corpuscles, 0-2 white blood cells. The doctor said it wasn't a big problem and prescribed Ba Zhen Pian and Qian Mao Shutong Jiaonang for me to take. Now, after a month of medication, I haven't noticed any changes. I didn't ask the doctor whether it was acute or chronic at the time, and after searching on Baidu, many people said it takes several months of medication to be effective. Is that really the case?Doctor's answer:
This is chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis manifests as frequent urination, urgency to urinate, incomplete urination, or pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum. Acute prostatitis, on the other hand, is characterized by frequent urination, urgency to urinate, pain during urination, difficulty urinating, and a burning sensation. Chronic prostatitis is treated with oral medications. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene.
