Dr. Li Mingchuan
The pathogenesis of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is relatively complex, and it is generally difficult to cure. Treatment primarily focuses on alleviating the patient’s clinical symptoms—for example, using medications or physical therapy to relieve pain and improve urinary symptoms, thereby enhancing quality of life. Concurrently, adopting healthier lifestyle and dietary habits can also support treatment efficacy.
