Patient's question:
I have been having difficulty urinating recently, and it requires a lot of effort. I think it might be a problem with my prostate. How can I alleviate this?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, mostly occurring in young and middle-aged adults. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical diagnosis, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate among adults.Treatment for acute prostatitis: Patients should rest in bed, drink more water, and take measures to relieve constipation. For severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesics and hot sitz baths can be used to alleviate symptoms. Antibiotics that can be used include penicillin, ampicillin, (cephalexin), and Cefixime.
Treatment for chronic prostatitis: Includes general treatment, prostate massage, medication injection, perineal drainage isolation, and the combined use of antibiotics.
