Patient's question:
I feel like I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination recently. Additionally, I have pain during urination, and sometimes a burning sensation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. He prescribed medication for me, but after taking it for a few days, it didn't help. What should I do to treat it? So, are there any effective treatments for male prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is primarily based on medication, with physical therapy being considered only when medication is ineffective. The medication regimen should be tailored based on the careful examination results of prostatic fluid, typically determining the use of antibiotics in combination with traditional Chinese medicine formulations that clear heat, reduce dampness, and resolve stagnation. While undergoing medication, it is important to control smoking and alcohol consumption, avoid prolonged sitting, and maintain regular ejaculation. Persistent warm sitz baths should also be practiced.
