Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. The doctor diagnosed it as a prostate disease. How should I choose a hospital for prostate disease?Doctor's answer:
Patient, hello. Prostatitis is primarily characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. It may also cause discomfort and pain in the groin area and genital region, along with urinary urgency, frequency, and pain during urination. It can also be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge.Guidance:
For your condition, I recommend timely comprehensive treatment for prostatitis. You should seek diagnosis in a formal hospital to determine which type of prostatitis you have.
Type I: Primarily treated with antibiotics. If urinary retention is present, fine catheterization may be used.
Type II: Mainly treated with oral antibiotics, with a course of 4–6 weeks.
Type IIIA: First, oral antibiotics for 2–4 weeks, then decide whether to continue antibiotic treatment based on the response to therapy.
Type IIIB: Treated with anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications.
Type IV: Generally does not require treatment.
