Patient's question:
Recently for the past more than two weeks, I have been experiencing frequent urination, equally during the day and at night. After each urination, besides the urge to urinate, there are no other symptoms. Last week, I had an ultrasound examination of my prostate, bladder, and kidneys, which were all normal, and my urine test also showed no significant issues. Today, I had a prostate fluid test, which revealed 3 white blood cells and a small amount of lecithin bodies. The hospital recommended that I receive intravenous fluids, but I don’t have the time. Currently, I am taking medication. I have been on medication for 5 days, and I feel that the frequency of urination has improved. Last week, I also experienced lower back pain, but now the lower back pain is almost gone. Today, I added two boxes of clarithromycin.Hello Doctor, is this acute or chronic? Is it bacterial or non-bacterial? If treated with traditional Chinese medicine, what medications should I take?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, the diagnosis of prostatitis is clear. If it is chronic prostatitis, if it is acute, it may reappear with feverish symptoms. Oral medication can be taken for treatment, which is perfectly fine. Follow your medication diligently for treatment. Pay attention to drinking more water and urinating frequently. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
