Patient's question:
I have had blood tests and a kidney check-up before, but no problems were found. A few days ago, I visited the urology department, had an ultrasound, and a urine test, but nothing was found. The doctor prescribed medication specifically for frequent urination, but after taking it for over a week, I haven’t noticed any improvement. Recently, I searched online and have started taking sitz baths with warm water for 10-30 minutes each day, hoping it will have some therapeutic effect.Doctor's answer:
According to your symptoms, it is highly suspected that you have prostatitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a prostatic fluid test and a prostate ultrasound. The earlier prostatitis is detected, the better the treatment outcome.Treatment methods for prostatitis:
1. General treatment: Completely eliminate the cause, maintain a regular lifestyle, engage in appropriate exercise, and take warm sitz baths.
2. Antibiotic treatment.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Use herbal formulas that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, unblock meridians, regulate liver qi, and clear heat and toxicity.
4. Prostatic heat therapy: Prostate microwave and shortwave therapy can be effective for chronic prostatitis.
When patients face male urological problems, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Avoid delaying medical consultation. If male urological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
