Patient's question:
Urine retention, frequent urination, and urgency for 20 years, taking good medicine hasn't been very effective. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it's chronic prostatitis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is still likely that the symptoms mentioned are caused by chronic prostatitis. It is recommended that you go for a follow-up visit at a formal hospital's TCM and urology department. It is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods in your daily diet, prevent bad habits such as overworking and drug abuse, maintain a regular sexual life, and enhance your physical fitness through regular exercise. Prostate conditions tend to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and formal medical attention immediately, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
