Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia in mid-2008 after going to the hospital for a thorough examination. After some treatment at the hospital, I stopped further treatment, and it hasn't improved yet. Can massage help alleviate the pain from this condition?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis refers to acute inflammation caused by non-specific bacterial infection of the prostate, primarily manifested as urinary urgency, frequency, and pain, as well as pain in the rectum and perineum. It is often accompanied by chills and fever. Due to its complex etiology, pathological changes, and diverse clinical symptoms, it can affect male sexual function and fertility. If detected, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly. In addition to treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
