Patient's question:
I am a man, 50 years old this year, and have always been in good health. However, recently every time I urinate, I have a sensation of dysuria, urgency, hesitation, and incomplete urination. Is it a problem with the prostate? How can prostatitis be checked? How long does it take to treat?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be diagnosed through careful laboratory tests, typically requiring a prostate fluid examination. How long it takes to fully recover is difficult to say. For the treatment of prostatitis, antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine are commonly used. Warm water sitz baths or rectal medication can also be employed. It is necessary to undergo a thorough examination to confirm the presence of prostate hyperplasia and fibrosis. Particularly for individuals aged 50 or older with prostate hyperplasia and fibrosis, it is advisable to undergo prostate surgery for removal.
