Patient's question:
I recently developed prostatitis, and I'm not interested in sexual life with my partner mainly because I don't have the energy for it. Prostatitis has made me feel dizzy and confused. I went to a small hospital, but they didn't see any significant improvement! I want to know how I can effectively treat prostatitis? Is medication the solution?Doctor's answer:
1. Don't hold urine. Once the bladder is full and you feel the urge to urinate, you should relieve yourself. Holding urine is harmful to the bladder and prostate. Before taking a long-distance bus, empty your bladder first before boarding. If you feel an urgent need to urinate during the journey, politely ask the driver for permission to use the restroom and go to the restroom upon boarding. Absolutely do not hold it in.2. Drink more water. Highly concentrated urine can stimulate the prostate, and long-term adverse stimulation is harmful to it. Drinking more water leads to more frequent urination, which can not only dilute the blood but also effectively reduce the concentration of urine.
3. Adjust your lifestyle. In spring and autumn, try to avoid drinking alcohol and eating spicy foods like chili peppers and ginger, as these can cause repeated congestion in the prostate and bladder neck, exacerbating local discomfort and pain.
