Patient's question:
Can someone be diagnosed with prostate disease at the age of 17?Doctor's answer:
Generally, boys around 17 years old can also get prostatitis. Among adolescents, poor masturbation habits may be one of the causes, or it can be secondary to 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 is primarily medication, mainly antibiotic treatment, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, penicillin derivatives, and it is necessary to quit smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. A reasonable and normal sexual life, weekly prostate massage, physical therapy, and hot Sitz baths can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
