Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting. I've also started experiencing problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: How can prostatitis be treated, and what effects can improve?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory treatment with antibiotics. You may take alpha-blockers for a short period, quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive frequent sexual activity. Prevent local cold stimulation, prolonged cycling, and long periods of sitting.Simultaneously, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect. One method is to sit in a basin of warm water for about 10 minutes. If ineffective, bacterial culture is recommended. Drug sensitivity tests should targetly use 2-3 medications based on the type of pathogen and its drug sensitivity. This approach yields better results. Continue medication for 7-10 days after symptoms completely disappear, urine tests return normal, and bacterial culture is negative before stopping the treatment.
