Patient's question:
Over the past five years, I have frequently experienced difficulty urinating. Last year, I started taking medication, which has improved the condition, but I haven't seen a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Progressive urinary difficulty for 5 years is generally a manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia rather than chronic prostatitis.Recommendations:
- Pay attention to personal hygiene.
- You can go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate to get a clear diagnosis.
- After confirmation, oral medication can be taken for treatment.
- Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period.
