Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have been experiencing strong discomfort in my lower abdomen recently. When I urinate, I feel a burning sensation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have developed specific prostatitis. Doctor, how should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
Specific prostatitis differs greatly from common prostatitis. Specific prostatitis is usually caused by pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi, gonococci, etc. Therefore, before treatment, it is essential to determine whether the infection is caused by tuberculosis bacteria or fungi. If there is a possibility of trichomoniasis, it must be carefully examined. Symptomatic medication is effective only after a clear diagnosis. Medications generally used for common prostatitis are not very suitable for specific prostatitis.
