Patient's question:
Recently, I've felt a burning sensation during urination, along with urgency and frequent urination. There's also noticeable pain in my abdomen and lower back. Additionally, I've experienced discomfort and even pain during sexual activity. After getting checked, I was told it's related to the prostate.Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis requires early treatment to avoid affecting sexual function and semen quality, which may lead 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 recommended to avoid spicy foods, 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. It is advised that if you suffer from chronic prostatitis, you should seek proper treatment at a regular hospital's urology department. Personally, I recommend combining medication with physical therapy, as physical therapy can directly deliver the effects of the medication to the affected area of the prostate, which can thoroughly cure the condition and prevent recurrence.
