Patient's question:
Male, 37 years old. I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis generally follows several principles. Routine treatment typically includes patient education, such as guiding dietary habits and physical exercise. The third principle is the medication treatment for prostatitis, which is generally divided into the following categories: α-adrenergic blockers, M-adrenergic blockers, and antibiotics, including many herbal preparations. The choice of antibiotics depends on the presence of bacteria. For type II prostatitis, the treatment duration is usually 4 to 6 weeks or longer. For type 3A prostatitis, antibiotics can also be appropriately used, with a typical course of 2 to 3 weeks. If the medication is not effective after 2 weeks, further antibiotic treatment is no longer recommended. In addition to many physical therapies, such as prostate massage and microwave therapy, etc.
