Patient's question:
Dad has lower back and pelvic pain, abnormal urination, and occasionally symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. In addition to frequent urination, urgency, and rectal irritation, there is even acute urinary retention. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as prostatitis. I would like to ask, what should be done about prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common male urological disease. Generally, it is not frightening. To prevent sitting for too long, holding back urine, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy and irritating foods are important. Medication should be taken irregularly during work and rest to fully cure it. The choice of medication is primarily based on symptoms, using traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and promote diuresis, and treating (urinary tract infections) with diuretic herbal remedies. At least a 4-8 week course is considered a safe treatment duration.
