Patient's question:
My husband had pain during urination a few weeks ago and went to the hospital. They said it was prostatitis. Can he take prostaglandin E2?Doctor's answer:
Prostaglandin E2 is a hormone with a wide range of physiological activities, generally present in various important tissues and body fluids of mammals, primarily found in the reproductive systems of both males and females, with the highest concentration in semen. It has now been artificially synthesized, and many types of new derivatives have been generated. Although it is present in the body's tissues, it is only released locally under special circumstances, with interference from nerves or hormones, to locally regulate cellular functions. Prostate conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to actively seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to controlling sexual activity and maintaining a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
