Patient's question:
When I went to the bathroom yesterday, it felt a bit rough, like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder, and I also think my hemorrhoids are getting worse. Is this because my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has returned, causing pressure? Please ask: How is benign prostatic hyperplasia treated?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 in adults.Treatment for acute prostatitis: Patients should rest in bed, drink more water, and take measures to relieve constipation. For severe bladder irritation symptoms, pain-relieving and muscle relaxant drugs, as well as warm sitz baths, can be administered to alleviate symptoms. Antibiotics that can be used include penicillin, ampicillin, (cephalexin), and Cefixime.
Treatment for chronic prostatitis: Includes general treatment, prostate massage, drug injection, isolation of surrounding prostate tissue, and the combined use of antibiotics.
