Patient's question:
Medical Description: Physical examination revealed benign prostatic hyperplasia. It has been treated twice, but still feels uncomfortable. There is often a sense of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, and the quality of sexual life is not as good as before.History of Treatment and Effects: After treatment, it seemed to improve, but it recurs after one or two years.
Help Needed: How can it be completely cured.
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, and its treatment is crucial. The cause must be identified, and a combination of medication and physical therapy is needed with sufficient dosage and an adequate course of treatment. Additionally, post-treatment care to prevent recurrence is even more important. After recovery, it is recommended to avoid spicy foods, maintain warmth, moderate sexual activity, reduce prolonged sitting, prevent overexertion, and engage in appropriate exercise. These are all conditions for preventing recurrence. It is advised that if you have chronic prostatitis, you should seek treatment from a regular hospital's urology department. Personally, I recommend combining medication with physical therapy, as physical therapy can directly deliver the effects of medication to the affected area of the prostate, allowing for a complete and permanent cure without recurrence.
