Patient's question:
I am 37 years old this year. Three years ago, I contracted prostatitis, experiencing cold and painful urination, and a weak stream. Later, I was cured through treatment. Recently, for the past year, I don't know why it has recurred. Now, physical therapy is recommended for treatment. Could you please explain what prostatitis physical therapy is?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be categorized into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. If it is acute prostatitis, the treatment is generally based on the use of antimicrobial drugs for anti-infection therapy. For chronic prostatitis patients, comprehensive evaluation measures can be adopted to implement treatment. Physical therapy is one of the comprehensive evaluation treatment measures. Commonly used physical therapy methods include shortwave, radiofrequency, ultrashortwave, microwave, medium wave, and hot Sitz baths, etc. These methods can stabilize local blood circulation, alleviate pain symptoms, and enhance the therapeutic effect of antimicrobial drugs.
