Patient's question:
Hello doctor! Here, I would like to ask some questions about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? I am usually a very lazy person and don't pay attention to hygiene. Over time, this led to a bacterial infection, which caused my prostate to enlarge, and now I am experiencing severe discomfort. How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the condition you described, you have bacterial prostatitis, and you can take oral antibiotics and Chinese herbal medicine to treat it. Avoid drinking beer, spicy foods, and getting cold. You must drink plenty of water and maintain sufficient urine output to flush the urethra. Do cold compresses or sit baths in the perineum every day. Avoid sitting for long periods and riding bicycles for extended times. You can have regular sexual activity, but do not hold back, do not have an unsatisfactory climax, and do not have sexual intercourse.
