Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with chronic bacterial prostatitis. They recommended shortwave therapy combined with intravenous fluids. Although there has been some improvement, it's too expensive. Now I also have the issue of sperm not liquefying. I heard that medication and some other treatments work well for this. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis requires early treatment to avoid affecting sexual function decline and semen quality, leading to infertility. Chronic prostatitis does not heal on its own. The treatment of prostatitis is very important, and it is necessary to identify the cause, combine medication with physical therapy, ensure adequate dosage, and maintain a sufficient course of treatment. Additionally, post-treatment care to prevent recurrence is even more important. After recovery, it is advisable to eat less spicy food, pay attention to keeping warm, moderate sexual desire, reduce prolonged sitting, prevent overexertion, and engage in appropriate exercise. These are all conditions for preventing recurrence.
