Doctor's answer:
Hello. In this case, the possibility of prostatitis is high. Oral treatment with tamsulosin and can be considered. Daily regulation is key: drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, get adequate rest, engage in moderate exercise, avoid cold exposure, do not sit for long periods, avoid cycling, do not hold back urine, avoid excessive sexual activity and masturbation, and reduce consumption of spicy and irritating foods, as well as smoking and alcohol. Prostatitis generally causes symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain, difficulty urinating, pain in the perineum and lower abdomen, and may lead to sexual dysfunction, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and frequent nocturnal emissions. Oral medication like tamsulosin can help relax the urethral muscles, with a treatment duration of about 8 weeks. Third, you can also take sit baths. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
