Patient's question:
I felt unwell before the New Year and went for a check-up, where I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Over the past few years, it has been recurring on and off, and it hasn't fully resolved. My wife hasn't been able to get pregnant either. I'm currently very distressed. Could you please tell me: What factors can cause prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! How long has it been? Prostatitis can be acute, chronic, or aseptic, but it is mostly bacterial. Based on your description, it might be chronic prostatitis. First, avoid spicy, alcoholic, and irritating foods. You can use Septrin tablets, with one month constituting a course of treatment. Alternatively, you can use Ciprofloxacin or Erythromycin for treatment. However, it is essential to take these medications under the guidance of a doctor at a local hospital. You can also use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate blood circulation, clear heat, detoxify, and promote diuresis. At the same time, persist in local hot sitz baths or ultrashortwave therapy. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
