Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a slight burning sensation at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please advise on how to treat issues like prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is classified as acute, chronic, or aseptic, but it is mostly bacterial in nature. Based on your description, it is likely to be chronic prostatitis. First, avoid spicy, alcoholic, and irritating foods. You can take Compound Sulfa Tablets, with one course lasting one month. Alternatively, you can use Ciprofloxacin or Erythromycin for treatment. However, medication should be taken under the guidance of a local hospital doctor. Chinese herbal medicine that promotes blood circulation, clears heat, detoxifies, and promotes diuresis can also be used for regulation and treatment. At the same time, it is important to maintain local hot sitz baths or shortwave therapy. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
