Patient's question:
I am 43 years old. I have had prostatitis 10 years ago. In 2015, a color Doppler ultrasound showed the transverse diameter, anteroposterior diameter, and longitudinal diameter as 4.5/3.6/2.8 cm, with uneven internal echoes. After that, I wanted to take sit baths and exercise, but this year I feel the symptoms have worsened. What are the treatments for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
It's likely that you may currently be suffering from chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis refers to chronic inflammation of the prostate gland caused by various etiologies and is the most common disease in urology. It includes two main types: chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Based on your current condition, it is recommended that you promptly visit the urology or andrology department of a local reputable Grade III-A hospital for a follow-up examination. Only after a definitive diagnosis can targeted treatment be provided.
