Patient's question:
I've been experiencing some symptoms of frequent urination and difficulty urinating for about two months. At the time, I didn't take it seriously, but recently I feel the condition has worsened. There's pain in my testicles, pain during urination, and the waiting time before urination has become even longer. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's prostatitis. I'm young, how could I have prostatitis? Do I need to take medication for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is mainly caused by inflammation, so anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered during treatment. This can be done through topical application or oral administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as cephalexin or ofloxacin, for example. However, the most important treatment method still requires physical therapy, which mainly includes rectal microwave therapy, rectal injection, and urethral microwave therapy. Generally, a week of treatment can produce significant results. Additionally, during the treatment period, the diet and care of patients with prostatitis are also crucial. Patients must ensure proper digestion of vitamins, prevent stomach upsets, and maintain a light diet.
