Patient's question:
My cousin has recently been experiencing constipation for some unknown reason. Besides urgency and frequent urination, he also has the symptom of incomplete urination. Sometimes, he even feels pain during urination, which is quite painful. Later, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as prostatitis, but it was chronic. What should he do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the etiology of prostatitis is complex, especially because the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are diverse, the causes are obscure, and diagnosis is difficult. Moreover, drugs are difficult to reach the site of the lesion, which can easily lead to chronic prostatitis being difficult to treat, with frequent relapses. Adopting a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, along with physical therapy, can achieve satisfactory clinical diagnostic effects. That is, based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, sensitive medications should be determined, administered in adequate doses, and used according to treatment cycles. At the same time, there are several selective methods that can be combined with prostatitis treatment. However, since patients have different symptoms, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are detected.
