Patient's question:
The doctor is a senior high school student and is currently practicing under great tension. The final exams are just around the corner. He has been feeling dizzy all day, constantly calculating and memorizing, just hoping to finish the exams as soon as possible. Things have been getting so bad that he feels like he's about to go crazy. I have some urinary discomfort, and after a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said it's prostatitis. Could you please tell me how to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Easily leads to infection: The infection caused by prostatitis can result in acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, orchitis, enlargement or tenderness of the spermatic cord lymph nodes, and in severe cases, recurrent groin pain or renal colic.2. Male infertility: Chronic inflammation changes the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the excretory function of the prostate, which in turn impacts the evaporation time of semen and reduces sperm vitality, leading to male infertility.
3. Infection of close relatives: Prostatitis can be transmitted to a wife through sexual contact, affecting her physical and mental health. When facing the impact of prostatitis, patients should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If prostatitis does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
