Patient's question:
I often feel severe pain in the prostate area when working, and besides frequent urination, I go to the toilet many times a day. I wonder if I might have a prostate-related disease, but I don't know what to do about it.Doctor's answer:
The etiology of prostatitis is complex, especially when it comes to the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, which are diverse and often obscure, making diagnosis difficult. Moreover, medications struggle to reach the affected area, easily leading to persistent and recurrent prostatic diseases. Adopting a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, along with physical therapy, can yield satisfactory clinical outcomes. This involves determining the most sensitive medications based on test results and the nature of the prostatitis, using them in appropriate dosages and following prescribed courses of treatment. Additionally, selective physical methods such as microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multifunctional therapy, and injection can be employed in combination. It is recommended to seek follow-up care at a professional urological hospital's prostatitis specialty department to identify the specific underlying causes.
