Patient's question:
My grandfather got prostatitis because he was too old to have surgery. He could only take medication for conservative treatment and eventually passed away because of it. I'm very worried about getting this disease in the future. I want to know if it's true that out of ten men, nine have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is indeed a common urological disease. This condition will never be life-threatening. Paying attention to drinking more water regularly and avoiding urinary tract infections can also help prevent the recurrence of prostatitis. If prostatitis occurs, it is important to seek treatment early, and it will never affect life-threatening conditions. Additionally, a color Doppler ultrasound examination should be conducted. If necessary, surgical treatment may also be considered.
