Patient's question:
I once had prostatitis. I went to the hospital for it, took medication, and it went away. I haven't had it again since. Recently, during a health check-up at the hospital, they said I have prostate calcification. Regarding urination: I have frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and a burning sensation in the urethra. I also experience incomplete emptying with dribbling, sometimes difficulty urinating, and nocturia.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is relatively detailed in clinical diagnosis, including acute and chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis is further divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, as well as conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cysts, and prostatodynia. The prostate is a special tissue organ with a hard lipid capsule outside, which acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for medications to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate. Due to different etiologies, chronic prostatitis exhibits various symptoms, representing a complex set of syndromes. The treatment principles are: ① early diagnosis and early treatment; ② timely, appropriate, and standardized treatment; ③ adopting different treatment plans for different conditions.
