Patient's question:
My husband told me yesterday that he carefully checked and found he had prostatitis. It hurts a lot when he goes to the bathroom. But since I don't know much about male prostatitis, I don't know what symptoms this disease has. I want to know how serious prostatitis is and how it should be treated.Doctor's answer:
This type of prostatitis is generally not severe if treated properly, as it may be caused by prolonged sitting or excessive sexual activity in the past. Therefore, it is prone to recurring symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or pain. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is primarily considered to be due to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body. Specific follow-up tests can be conducted at the hospital. For treatment, oral anti-inflammatory medications can be taken, but the specific medication should be strictly followed by a doctor's advice. Additionally, moxibustion therapy can also be considered.
