Patient's question:
My husband hasn't been intimate with me for a long time. At first, I thought it was because he didn't love me anymore or because he was having an affair. Later, I found out that it's because he suffers from epididymitis. I've never heard of this condition before. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The inflammation is often caused by bacteria entering the posterior urethra along the vas deferens through retrograde infection or by bacteria from epididymitis invading the seminal vesicles along the vas deferens. For surgical treatment of prostatitis, the previously adopted measure of simple aspiration and injection of hardening agents to reduce cyst size has been unreliable, often leading to recurrence or infection, making future surgeries difficult. Patients with prostatitis can use traditional Chinese medicine diuretic anti-inflammatory pills. The main symptoms of prostatitis are frequent urination, dysuria, difficulty urinating, and hematospermia, primarily caused by bacterial infection. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
