Patient's question:
I was infected with mycoplasma (Mycoplasma hominis) a month ago and underwent a drug sensitivity test. After that, the doctor prescribed clindamycin, but I haven't recovered yet after 15 days of treatment. I'm planning to switch to a different antibiotic for treatment. Today, I went to the hospital for another drug sensitivity test and also had a thorough check of my prostatic fluid routine, which showed 80.00 leukocytes + phospholipid bodies, except for an ↑ symbol. What do these symbols mean? The doctor said it's prostatitis—is it serious? How does mycoplasma cause prostatitis? Can it be transmitted? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis caused by infections such as mycoplasma can be transmitted to close relatives.Guidance: The principle of treating prostatitis is to combat infection. It is better to choose antibiotics based on drug sensitivity. Antibiotics should be taken for at least 4 weeks. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and avoid sexual activity in the near future. Other treatments are supplementary and may not be as effective.
For daily treatment of prostatitis, the focus is on symptomatic relief. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain a regular schedule while avoiding alcohol. We hope that prostatitis patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
