Patient's question:
Prostatitis has been a year and I never paid attention to it. Recently, I went to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound and found that my prostate is slightly enlarged. The doctor prescribed Cefixime and Prostamol. In the first few days of taking the medication, I felt a significant reduction in symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. However, after about a month, the symptoms have started to fluctuate. I feel a bit better than when I first started, but they have just stabilized at this level. I still feel a bit of frequent urination, and each time the urine volume is not much. I feel weak when urinating and it doesn't go far. I take the medicine on time every day and pay close attention to my diet. I drink a lot of water and have also stopped sexual activity. What is going on? Can this condition heal on its own? I'm almost dying of frustration.Doctor's answer:
I usually have prostatitis that can heal on its own with proper treatment, but this condition can also easily relapse. First, I recommend avoiding spicy and irritating foods, maintaining a regular sexual life, and preventing overwork and drug use. It's also beneficial to practice regular anal sphincter exercises. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of relapse. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
