Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to know what chronic prostatitis is, what symptoms it has, how it is treated, and what I should do.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is a very common (4%–25%) and highly confusing disease. Up to 50% of men will experience symptoms of prostatitis at some point in their lives. Due to its complex etiology, pathological changes, and diverse clinical symptoms, it can affect male sexual function and fertility, severely impacting patients' quality of life and causing great physical and mental distress. Currently, there are several traditional Chinese and Western medications for treating chronic prostatitis, but many people are prone to relapse. The reason lies in the lack of mastery of key treatment points. In addition to treating prostatitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
