Patient's question:
Dear urologists,Good afternoon, everyone. There's a question that has been troubling me for a long time. Recently, I've been experiencing a sense of fullness and pain in my prostate. Every time I urinate, it's very difficult. Apart from that, I also have a persistent itching sensation. Could this be prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
If there are difficulties in urination with a condition like prostatitis that can be transmitted, it cannot be ruled out that the cause may be prostatic hyperplasia and fibrosis. It is necessary to promptly undergo examination and treatment. Diagnosis can be made through a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and laboratory tests of prostatic fluid. At the same time, the use of medication should be determined based on the condition. Generally, oral Pueraria lobata tablets or Prunella vulgaris tablets are used. Additionally, if there is bacterial inflammation, antibiotic treatment should also be administered.
