Patient's question:
How to treat prostatitis? A family member in my household has been diagnosed with this condition, and I urgently want to learn about its treatment methods. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If prostatitis is the cause of prostatodynia, the treatment primarily involves oral levofloxacin and medication, prostate massage, warm sitz baths every night, and avoiding alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods in daily life to prevent urinary retention and prolonged sitting. It is essential to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the perineal area. Medication should be taken orally for five to six weeks. For prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
