Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and severe lower back pain for the past month. Sometimes I also have pain during urination. It has become worse these past few days. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was due to prostatitis. He advised me to drink more water at home. What kind of water is good for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, for prostatitis, drinking plain water is sufficient. Plain water is effective in replenishing fluids and contains no other ingredients, so it will never cause other side effects. Drinking water alone cannot cure prostatitis; it is better to use additional medication for treatment. Typically, the treatment for prostatitis mainly involves the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as traditional Chinese medicine formulations that clear heat and purge fire. It is best to use these medications under the guidance of a doctor.
