Patient's question:
On the third day of medication, yesterday I still had frequent urination and urgency, going to the bathroom every ten minutes. There was also some difficulty urinating. Following the doctor's instructions, I have taken medication, undergone microwave treatment, and received injections. Today, I am still waiting for the effects to show. Can chronic bacterial prostatitis heal on its own? Can the bacteria be completely eliminated?Doctor's answer:
The above condition is chronic prostatitis, and there are many possible causes, which may be related to prolonged sitting and a diet high in spicy and irritating foods. It is important to avoid prolonged sitting and to prevent consuming spicy and irritating foods. This disease can sometimes be non-bacterial, and it can be treated with focused care, gradually leading to self-healing. Patients with this condition should develop good lifestyle habits to prevent recurrence. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and to maintain good personal hygiene.
