Patient's question:
Recently, some relatives and elders in my family have contracted prostatitis. Listening to their descriptions, it seems they are experiencing great pain—urinating is very difficult for them every day, and they constantly feel the urge to urinate frequently. I'm very worried that I might also get prostatitis. I'd like to ask, what are the methods to prevent prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common urological disease diagnosed in clinical practice, which can be caused by various different factors. Its main symptoms include frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, decreased sexual function, and it tends to recur frequently, causing great suffering to patients and severely impacting their normal work and life. In fact, it can be prevented. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between work and rest, avoid catching colds and overexertion; drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods; keep the genital area clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse; practice restrained and hygienic sexual behavior, which can effectively prevent the recurrence of prostatitis.
