Patient's question:
I have previously mentioned doctors, and this time I assume you know a little about it. I have had prostatitis for over ten years, and I drink beer. I feel like life is very gray, and I don't know if it's related to smoking that has caused my prostatitis to become severe. I have recently been taking medication, but the symptoms are still about the same. However, I haven't quit smoking and am still smoking, which is painful. Why is my prostatitis worse before quitting alcohol than after quitting alcohol?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a disease primarily characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain, commonly affecting men under the age of 50. This condition can lead to an increase in male perinatal urological system function and interfere with quality of life. Treatment targeting the cause can often lead to self-healing, and it is recommended to avoid unhealthy habits such as prolonged sitting, excessive alcohol consumption, and overexertion. The symptoms of prostatitis tend to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals.
