Is the recurrence rate high after recovery from prostatitis?

The recurrence rate of prostatitis after treatment is relatively high, although the exact rate varies from person to person. Generally, if patients do not adopt healthy lifestyle habits after treatment—such as continued long-term alcohol consumption, eating spicy foods, or prolonged sitting—the recurrence rate may reach 20%–30% or even higher. However, if patients actively improve their lifestyle by avoiding these unhealthy behaviors, maintaining regular作息 (daily routines and diet), and undergoing regular follow-up examinations, the recurrence rate can be reduced to below 20%. In addition, self-management and self-care are also crucial; drinking plenty of water, urinating frequently, and avoiding excessive fatigue can all help lower the recurrence rate of prostatitis.
