Patient's question:
Due to excessive foreskin and the habit of masturbation, there have been episodes of lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, decreased urine volume, nocturia, and splitting during urination throughout the year.Doctor's answer:
1. Over 96% of chronic prostatitis cases are non-bacterial and are related to prostatic congestion and pelvic floor muscle spasm. Antibiotics are generally not recommended for treatment.2. The routine examination of prostatic fluid is no longer used for diagnosis or evaluating treatment efficacy due to its lack of objectivity. It is only used as a reference during initial diagnosis. The main basis for diagnosis is clinical manifestations, symptoms, and improvements in quality of life. The principle of treating prostatitis is primarily to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Focusing solely on the test results of prostatic fluid is highly misleading.
3. Prostatitis does not have a severity classification, as it is merely a condition that affects quality of life and does not cause substantial harm to your health.
4. It is recommended to adjust your mindset, change your lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, drink more water, and abstain from alcohol.
5. Treatment must adhere to the principle of "regular hospitals and regular treatment."
6. It is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine department at a large public general hospital when necessary, and consider using traditional Chinese medicine for regulation to see the effects.
