Patient's question:
Where is the old doctor in Guilin? How do I get to the old doctor in Guilin? I think I might have prostatitis. What should I do? I'm 22 years old this year, a university student from a place outside Guilin studying in Guilin. I've always had good academic performance and haven't done much else, but recently, for some reason, I've been having trouble urinating at night. I'll go to the bathroom, but then a little while later, I'll feel the need to go again. But when I try to urinate again, I can't. I looked it up, and it seems this is a symptom of prostatitis. I'm from Guilin, and I once had a friend who was cured of prostatitis by the old doctor here. I plan to go to the old doctor for a checkup. However, I'm not sure if I really have prostatitis. So, I wanted to ask the doctors here—is my condition likely to be prostatitis? Because I'm a university student, if I go to the hospital, people will laugh at me. So, I want to be sure first before deciding whether to go to the hospital. Thank you, doctors.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation may have symptoms of prostatitis. Chinese and Western medicine combined therapy can be used. Chinese medicine mainly focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying (such as Longqing Pian, Qingre Jiedu Jiaonang), while Western medicine can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment (e.g., erythromycin, sparfloxacin), improving urinary symptoms (naftopidil), and other treatments such as acupuncture and prostate massage. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local regular hospital. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, so it is important to drink more water and exercise more in daily life.
