Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis has been a long time, and the doctor prescribed suppositories for me. This is my first time using it. Can I apply a lot of lubricant when putting it in? Can cooking oil be used? Can olive oil be used? Is it most effective when inserted 5 cm?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis may cause recurring symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, burning sensation during urination, and increased nighttime urination. Therefore, it is recommended to drink plenty of plain water, engage in regular physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and use suppository medications. Lubricants, including oils, can be used without any interference. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
