Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Due to frequent urination and urgency for a long time (nearly ten years), I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor asked me to have a prostatic fluid test, and the results showed: Sphingomyelin bodies: ; Leukocytes: 6-12/PH; Epithelial cells: 0-5/PH. Could it be prostatitis? If so, what type is it, and how should it be treated? Thank you in advance!Medical history: I had a long history of masturbation in my youth.
Previous diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes: I have been checked for kidney stones, ureteral stones, etc., and no abnormalities were found.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:You may have chronic prostatitis. The treatment for prostatitis is not complex; the key lies in persistence. Intermittent treatment often yields half the results with double the effort. Prostate massage plays an important role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Generally, it is performed once a week, with a course of 4 to 8 sessions. The specific method should be mastered by a doctor. For infectious prostatitis, anti-inflammatory Chinese or Western medicine can be taken. Additionally, physical therapies such as magnetotherapy and hydrotherapy can be combined. Medications can also be injected into the vas deferens, or urethral irrigation and medication administration may be performed. However, all these treatments must be decided upon by a doctor. During the treatment process, patients should actively cooperate with their doctors and pay attention to the following points:
（1）Maintain good hygiene, overcome bad sexual habits, and moderately restrain sexual activity.
（2）Minimize pressure on the perineal area, such as avoiding tight pants or prolonged bicycle riding.
（3）Abstain from smoking, alcohol, and spicy or irritating foods.
（4）Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to facilitate the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
（5）Actively participate in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness.
