Doctor's answer:
Hello! The symptoms of prostatitis often start suddenly and can manifest as chills, high fever, along with persistent and significant lower urinary tract infection symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria (painful urination), a burning sensation during urination, difficulty urinating, and urinary retention. Symptoms may also include a sense of fullness or discomfort in the posterior urethra, anus, and perineal area. Urinary abnormalities may include urgency, frequency, dysuria, and nocturia (increased nighttime urination). It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly. During the treatment period, it is advisable to avoid alcohol, spicy foods, meat (such as dog, beef, and mutton), seafood, and plant-based foods like soy and its products. Additionally, avoid or limit the intake of seasonings such as pepper, fennel, garlic, onions, leeks, and sour or astringent fruits. Engaging in moderate physical activity can help enhance the body's resistance and improve local blood circulation in the prostate.
