Patient's question:
This symptom has persisted for some time. It's that I often feel lower back pain and a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and I also have a feeling of incomplete urination. There is also some secretion leaking from the urethral opening. The hospital examination said it was prostatitis. Please ask: How is prostatitis treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is generally considered that prostatitis is a disease characterized by inflammatory pathological changes in the prostate caused by multiple different triggers, including autoimmune, neuroendocrine factors. It primarily manifests as clinical symptoms such as urethral irritation and chronic pelvic pain. The urethral symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination, accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge. It may also be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. Commonly used antibiotics include cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. If a prostatic abscess has formed, surgical treatment is required. It is recommended to rest in bed for 3-4 days, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and irritating foods.
