Patient's question:
My father hasn't been feeling well recently. He was carefully examined and found to have prostatitis, which is quite serious. Later, he has been taking medication for treatment, but it hasn't been very effective. What kind of medicine should elderly people with prostatitis take?Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's important to pay attention when elderly people suffer from prostatitis, as they may also have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at the same time. In such cases, oral medications for BPH are usually necessary. In terms of diet, it's important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as tea. It's best to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. After that, symptomatic treatment can be provided. Typically, medication treatment involves taking these drugs, which can effectively stabilize symptoms.
