Patient's question:
Already diagnosed with prostatitis, not sure how serious it is. How should prostatitis be treated best?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is recommended to be treated with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Short-term use of α-receptor blockers can be considered, such as Doxazosin. Avoid excessive sexual activity and prevent local cold exposure. Additionally, physical therapy can enhance the treatment effect. Methods include sitting in a basin with warm water for about 10 minutes. It is advised to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
