Patient's question:
21 years old, recently experiencing frequent urination, some lower back pain, and a cool sensation when touched. Despite having sufficient deep sleep, I often feel sleepy. After researching online, I felt the symptoms matched those of kidney Yang deficiency. However, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with non-bacterial prostatitis. I want to ask if non-bacterial prostatitis is serious?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a special organ made of tissue, with a hard lipid capsule outside. This capsule acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for medications to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate. Chronic prostatitis manifests differently due to varying causes, presenting as a complex set of symptoms. The treatment principles mainly focus on: ① Early diagnosis and early treatment; ② Timely, sufficient, and standardized treatment; ③ Adopting different treatment plans for different conditions; ④ Treating sexual partners simultaneously. The treatment of interventional ultrasound ablation also needs to be based on the patient's cause of the disease and the progression of the condition to determine the most effective treatment method for prostatitis. There are several treatment methods for prostatitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment method will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
