Patient's question:
Is it possible for a 20-year-old student to suffer from prostatitis? Isn't prostatitis usually a disease that affects middle-aged and elderly people? I went for a check-up because I previously experienced difficulty urinating, and the result turned out to be prostatitis!Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is entirely possible to suffer from prostatitis at the age of 20. We have seen middle school students in their teens who have prostatitis. This is mainly due to excessive masturbation, urinary tract infections, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits such as some young people's alcoholism. Treatment should first identify the cause, and then adopt a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to address the symptoms. The main focus is to eliminate the cause, develop good lifestyle habits, strengthen physical exercise, maintain a balanced diet, and drink plenty of water.
