Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis, and the main symptom has been a bit of frequent urination. Various medications have been taken for nearly two months with little significant effect. The medication I have been taking recently has shown some effectiveness. However, it feels quite strange—sometimes I have normal urination for a whole day, but then on the third day, it becomes a bit frequent again. On the third day, it might even be similar to normal urination. I’m not sure what’s going on. Besides that, after sexual activity, there is a noticeable increase in frequent urination, and I also feel a bit of abdominal bloating. Lightly pressing the abdomen with my hand can cause some pain. Logically, this shouldn’t happen, as my sexual activity is very restrained—basically once every 7 or 8 days. It’s said that regular ejaculation is beneficial for alleviating prostatitis.Hello doctor, what exactly is going on? Has my prostatitis become milder?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis requires regular ejaculation. Sometimes, if the duration of cold sensitivity during sexual activity is too long, it is also necessary to implement one ejaculation per week. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to other lifestyle habits. For example, it is strictly prohibited to sit for long periods, consume spicy and stimulating foods, drink alcohol, work overtime, or ride bicycles. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Moreover, it is necessary to restrain sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
