Patient's question:
I have been suffering from male prostatitis for two years. I have taken many medications, but they haven't been effective. Every morning, I always feel pain in the prostate and pain during urination. I don't know what to do and am very worried about myself. How can prostatitis pain be treated better?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of chronic male prostatitis primarily focuses on anti-inflammatory and symptomatic management, which can be used alone or in combination with antibiotics. Symptomatic treatment can involve non-steroidal drugs or smooth muscle relaxants such as tamsulosin. The treatment duration is 4-6 weeks. During treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain regular ejaculation (1-2 times per week). Warm sitz baths and other physical therapies can also be applied. Invasive procedures are not recommended.
