Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I am 25 years old and have had prostate-related symptoms for a long time. At the same time, I also have erectile dysfunction. I want to get a prostate check-up. Which department should I register for, and what tests will be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is a common disease in men. There are many causes of prostatitis, including long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and spicy or stimulating foods. For prostatitis, you generally need to see a urologist or a male medicine specialist for examination. This examination mainly includes a digital rectal examination, prostatic fluid examination, and ultrasound, which can basically confirm the diagnosis.Advice: If it is confirmed that you have prostatitis, treatment can include taking Liexiaokang (a prostatitis medication) along with anti-inflammatory drugs such as levofloxacin capsules. Avoid alcohol and spicy or stimulating foods. Hot Sitz baths or perineal heat applications can be helpful. Maintain regular bowel movements, pay attention to local hygiene, drink plenty of water, and avoid unsafe sex. Wishing you good health.
