Patient's question:
I have a male friend who has had chronic prostatitis for three years. He has never gone to the hospital for treatment and has only taken some simple medication. I want to ask how are chronic prostatitis generally treated in men?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis refers to acute inflammation of the prostate caused by non-specific bacterial infection, 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 important to seek medical treatment promptly.In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's diet and mental state are also particularly important during the course of prostatitis treatment. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of prostatitis.
