Patient's question:
Recently, I have been urinating more frequently every day and often waking up at night to use the restroom. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor told me I have prostatitis. He prescribed medication for me, but I still find myself needing to use the restroom shortly after lying down. I would like to ask the doctor if prostatitis can last for a long time?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis patients are certainly not recommended to maintain the same posture for a long time. They need to pay attention to rest and dietary and living hygiene, exercise appropriately, reduce the body's immune function, and check whether there are substantive inflammatory factors or if the cause is non-bacterial prostatic hyperplasia. Different treatment measures and plans are adopted depending on whether it is due to inflammatory factors or non-bacterial prostatic hyperplasia. Build confidence in overcoming the disease and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
