Will prostatitis turn into cancer if left untreated?

Patient's question:

I have prostatitis, but it is said that even if it is cured, it will recur repeatedly. If it is not treated for a long time or not treated at all, will it turn into prostate cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if inflammation is not treated promptly and recurs repeatedly, it may have the potential to become cancerous. However, this probability is very small and very small. Do not worry too much. But if there is inflammation, it is still important to seek timely treatment. Pay attention to eating less spicy and irritating foods in daily life, and take care of personal hygiene and sexual hygiene. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and in addition, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
