Patient's question:
Since the beginning of the year, I've been feeling like I have a lot of nighttime urination, and I also have frequent urination during the day. When I urinate, there's a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine is not much. I also always feel like I haven't fully emptied my bladder. My lower back, waist, and abdomen also hurt badly. I suspect it might be prostatitis. Please ask: How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
For individuals with prostatitis, Lóngbìshū and cefixime can be taken for treatment. At the same time, alcohol consumption and overtime work should be avoided, prolonged sitting should be prevented, and spicy, irritating foods should not be eaten. The most commonly used medications for treating prostatitis are antibiotics, α-blockers, plant-based preparations, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
