Patient's question:
Diagnosed with chronic aseptic prostatitis, widespread white blood cells, two plus lecithin, abdominal bloating and pain, discomfort in the perineum, frequent urination, general weakness, anal sweating and fullness, with a habit of masturbation and staying up late.Doctor's answer:
Currently, many hospitals have abandoned the method of judging prostatitis based on prostatic fluid tests. Therefore, do not unnecessarily burden yourself with worry just because "the test results show more white blood cells."Secondly, the primary treatment for prostatitis is psychological and lifestyle adjustments, not medication. Patients who use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine should discontinue medication after six weeks if it is ineffective, but they must not rely on it!
Furthermore, to truly control prostatitis, medication is often secondary; diet and lifestyle changes are the most important. Therefore, quitting smoking, drinking, and spicy foods, as well as avoiding prolonged sitting, exposure to cold, and fatigue, are essential—missing any of these is not acceptable!
Fourth, some chronic prostatitis patients may have a history of excessive masturbation, but it is crucial not to overcorrect. Regular and harmonious sexual activity, along with moderate masturbation, is also indispensable in the treatment of prostatitis.
Fifth, many prostatitis patients exhibit psychological symptoms, but they may not be aware of them. Thus, taking appropriate antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications is highly necessary, especially for those who feel the need to visit the doctor multiple times a week over this issue. Conversely, if anxiety is not well-controlled, it will inevitably worsen the condition.
In summary, whether you believe it or not, if you do not take prostatitis seriously, the related discomfort symptoms may significantly improve over time. However, the more you focus on it, the worse it becomes—as if it has a second face, with symptoms worsening and becoming increasingly unbearable. So, if you have prostatitis, let it be. See how far it can go!
