Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of prostatitis and cancer? Recently, after taking a flight, I experienced frequent urination. After using the bathroom, I felt relieved. I took Qian Mao Bei Xi capsules, but they didn't seem to work. Now I often go to the bathroom at night and drink a lot of water in the morning, going about once every hour. I wanted to ask what could be wrong?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis refers to inflammation caused by a recurrence of bacterial or fungal infections in the prostate, while prostate cancer is a disease characterized by an epithelial malignant tumor. Prostatitis manifests as pelvic and sacral pain, urinary disturbances, and sexual dysfunction. Recommendations: Maintain a balance between work and rest, follow a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods, and avoid overtime work and drug use. Prostatitis symptoms can also resolve without medication. However, the condition tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management.
