Patient's question:
Previously diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, the main symptoms at that time were frequent urination and urgency. Now they are all basically normal. However, the current main condition is anal discomfort, strong tightness in the lower abdomen (pain on both sides of the navel when pressed), especially the pain intensifies after sitting for a while, and the stool is a bit loose.Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis. It is recommended that you actively seek treatment, as prostatitis is difficult to completely cure. It is hoped that you are mentally prepared and actively pursue treatment. The best approach for treating prostatitis is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. First, use antibiotics for 7-14 days, then follow up with traditional Chinese medicine for consolidation. Prostatitis treatment must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve a complete cure.During treatment, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, refrain from consuming foods, and do not smoke or drink alcohol. Maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital.
In addition to medication, I would like to recommend a physical therapy: warm Sitz bath. Pour about 40% water (enough that your hand does not feel hot) into a basin, filling it about halfway. Sit in the water for 10-30 minutes each time. When the water cools, add a small amount of hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
