Prostatitis is commonly found in young males, with main clinical symptoms including frequent urination, urgent urination, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Some patients may also experience discomfort and pain in the perineal, anal, and lower abdominal areas. If it is chronic prostatitis which has not healed for a long time, some patients may also experience irritability, depression, insomnia, and other negative emotions. After being diagnosed with prostatitis, it is necessary to go to the hospital's urology department for a thorough examination to identify the specific causes and pathogenic bacteria of prostatitis. Treatment should be conducted with appropriate antibiotics based on the sensitivity test results, generally for a duration of 3 to 4 weeks. Additionally, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and drinking. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Prostatitis is caused by what?

The occurrence of prostatitis is mainly due to infections of the prostate or some non-infectious factors. Infectious factors are primarily due to previously untreated conditions such as urethritis or seminal vesiculitis. Bacteria spread along the urinary and reproductive tracts to the prostate, causing infection. Non-infectious factors mainly include poor lifestyle habits, such as prolonged sitting, holding urine, long-distance driving, long periods of cycling, frequent sexual activity, and long-term alcohol consumption. Prostatitis is also related to some endocrine diseases or psychological factors. After developing prostatitis, patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, and a sense of weighty pain in the perineum, anal region, and lower abdomen. It is important to visit a hospital's urology department for a detailed examination and targeted treatment.

Can fire therapy cure prostatitis?

Fire therapy actually cannot effectively treat prostatitis, but it can help alleviate the symptoms of prostatitis. For the treatment of prostatitis, it is still necessary to first alleviate and improve the condition by taking medication, and conduct medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Do not blindly use medications to avoid worsening the condition. It is important to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to expel some toxins through urine and prevent urinary tract infections. It is suggested to engage in an appropriate amount of physical exercise regularly to increase the body's resistance and improve the symptoms of the disease.

Where does prostatitis hurt?

Patients with prostatitis mainly present with symptoms of urinary discomfort and pelvic pain. Urinary discomfort typically manifests as frequent urination, urgency, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Pain symptoms mainly include pain around the pelvic area, usually located in the lower abdomen, perineum, and anal region. Some patients may experience pain in the sacral area, with the pain being continuous, distending, or sore. When such symptoms occur, prostatitis should be considered as a likely possibility. It is advisable to promptly visit the urology department of a regular public hospital where diagnosis can be confirmed through ultrasound, digital rectal examination, and routine prostate fluid analysis. Targeted treatment should then be administered, and if necessary, some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally for pain relief. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

What causes prostatitis?

Prostatitis is commonly found in young males, with the main clinical symptoms being frequent urination, urgent urination, and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. Prostatitis is primarily divided into bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by local infections, such as in patients with urethritis or epididymitis who have not received timely treatment, leading to the development of bacterial prostatitis. Some cases are due to prostate biopsies or the use of liquid catheters. Non-bacterial prostatitis, on the other hand, is largely associated with poor lifestyle habits, such as prolonged sitting, withholding urine, long-term alcohol consumption, frequent sexual activity, and extended periods of cycling or driving, which can lead to the onset of non-bacterial prostatitis.
