Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethral opening, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How can prostatitis be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis can be self-healed if the cause is accurately identified and targeted treatment is administered. It is also important to note that chronic prostatitis poses significant harm to men, so early treatment should be implemented to achieve good therapeutic effects. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy foods, maintain a proper and normal sexual life, and engage in weekly prostate massages, physical therapy, and hot baths to enhance and stabilize blood circulation, alleviate symptoms, and wish for a complete and early recovery. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results.
