Patient's question:
For almost two and a half months, I've been experiencing pain during bowel movements. I already had some symptoms of urgency, and now I have more frequent urination, with a stronger stinging sensation. Additionally, besides the burning sensation, I've been afraid to eat spicy and heavily seasoned foods during this time. I went to the hospital and saw a doctor, who after a thorough examination, diagnosed me with prostatitis. How do you treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis should be treated with a comprehensive evaluation. Initially, oral antibiotics can be taken for 2 to 4 weeks, and then the treatment plan should be adjusted based on the feedback of its effectiveness. Alpha-blockers can be used to stabilize urinary symptoms and pain, or plant-based preparations, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and M-receptor blockers can also be chosen for this purpose. Prostatitis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding symptomatic treatment, and should maintain a proper diet in daily life to avoid irritating foods.
