Patient's question:
Can someone be 17 years old and get prostate disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, 17-year-old boys can also get prostatitis. In adolescents, poor masturbation habits may be one of the reasons, or it can be a result of acute prostatitis or caused by unknown reasons. Patients may also have chronic urinary tract infections, especially chronic pyelonephritis, along with bladder irritation symptoms. The treatment of prostatitis mainly involves medication, primarily antibiotic treatment, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and spicy foods, maintain a reasonable and normal sex life, have a prostate massage once a week, physiotherapy, and warm sitz baths. These measures can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
