Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for a long time, and the treatment situation has not been very good, intermittentlyDoctor's answer:
Hello, these are two different conditions. Prostatitis refers to inflammatory changes in the prostate tissue caused by hematogenous infection or retrograde infection, and a portion of it is non-infectious inflammation. The main symptoms are lower urinary tract irritation, frequent urination, and urgency, as well as perineal pain. General treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory measures and sitz baths. Prostate hyperplasia, on the other hand, is caused by abnormal proliferation (increase in number and enlargement) of prostate tissue, leading to urinary tract narrowing and lower urinary tract symptoms, mainly characterized by frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating. Your symptoms are more consistent with prostate hyperplasia. If your age also matches, it can be diagnosed as such.
