Patient's question:
My husband has always been in good health, but recently he has been experiencing frequent urination. In addition to lower limb swelling and pain, he also suffers from intense itching. He often urinates frequently after washing for a while, but the pain returns shortly after. It has been getting worse recently, and he was wondering if there are any medications that can treat this condition, as well as which hospital might be the best to visit.Doctor's answer:
According to the onset and severity of the disease, prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Based on the infectious nature, prostatitis can be categorized into four types: acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, chronic non-bacterial, and asymptomatic. Acute prostatitis is relatively easy to treat, with a shorter treatment period and lower costs. Chronic prostatitis, on the other hand, is very stubborn and carries the risk of recurrence, and it cannot be cured in just a day or two, making the expenses unpredictable. Similarly, the treatment for non-bacterial prostatitis is relatively simple, while the treatment for bacterial prostatitis is more challenging. Prostate enlargement is a condition that is difficult to cure. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating prostate enlargement and believe that recovery is certain.
