Patient's question:
My friend has been a bit frustrated these past few days, saying he's having some difficulty urinating. I advised him to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, so he wouldn't discover the problem when it's already serious. So, he went to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor said it was prostatitis. After taking medicine for two days, it still didn't improve. How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is generally caused by bacterial infection. Besides this, chronic sexual stimulation or overly forceful sexual activity can also lead to it, with a higher possibility in such cases. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, definitive treatment methods can be determined through routine prostatic fluid tests and ultrasound examinations of the prostate. The treatment typically involves anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications, which are supplemented with rectally administered suppositories.
