Patient's question:
On May 28, at Shandong Provincial Hospital, it was discovered through examination that there was benign prostatic hyperplasia and a prostatic cyst with a diameter of about 0.9 cm. PSA 9.09.Doctor's answer:
Experts suggest having a correct understanding of prostatitis: Prostatitis is not benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and there is no direct relationship between them. Antibiotics are not necessarily required for all cases of prostatitis; the specific pathological factors and patient condition must be considered. Otherwise, it may lead to issues like dysbiosis, affecting health and subsequent treatment. Prostatitis is not a sexually transmitted disease and is generally not contagious. Moreover, prostatitis is not incurable. With proper treatment, reasonable and standardized methods, and good doctor-patient cooperation, prostatitis can be effectively treated.
