Patient's question:
Doctor, I noticed a few weeks ago that my glans was red and swollen, and my penis was also swollen. It hurts a bit when I urinate. The doctor at the hospital did a thorough examination and said it was prostatitis. He prescribed a lot of medicine and reminded me to have a light diet and drink more water. I want to ask, why is it necessary to drink more water for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a very common urological disease, primarily characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Prostatitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for a routine urine test. Once diagnosed with prostatitis, early oral medication treatment is necessary, including the prescription of antibiotics. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and maintain a urinary system to prevent bacterial infections.
