Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethra, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. Please ask: How is common prostatitis usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is recommended to be treated with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Short-term use of α-blockers (e.g., Doxazosin) can be considered. Quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, refrain from sexual intercourse, and prevent excessive sexual frequency. Also, avoid local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect. The method involves sitting in a basin of warm water for about 10 minutes. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
