Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. I have been treated for a period of time, but the effect is not very good. A friend explained that I should have a prostate massage. Does massage have a therapeutic effect?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, it is recommended to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Short-term use of α-receptor blockers (e.g., Durect) can also be considered. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity. Prevent local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect, with methods such as sitting in a basin (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes). Prostatitis has a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid stimulating foods. It is hoped that patients with prostatitis can receive professional treatment.
