Patient's question:
Several months ago, I started experiencing frequent urination, incomplete urination, premature ejaculation, and sometimes painful ejaculation. Examination and test results: Prostate fluid was examined, showing 24 white blood cells, 2+ lecithin corpuscles, a small amount of pus cells, and other results were normal. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Currently taking Pulegan tablets. What kind of help do you want: I want to know if I have bacterial or non-bacterial chronic prostatitis and need to pay attention to treatment.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is divided into two categories: bacterial and non-bacterial. The diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis is based on recurrent urinary tract infections, persistent pathogenic bacteria in prostatic massage fluid, laboratory tests showing more than 10 white blood cells per high-power field in prostatic fluid, and a reduction in lecithin corpuscles. The majority of chronic prostatitis patients have non-bacterial prostatitis, with normal prostatic fluid tests and no bacterial growth in culture, which is referred to as prostatodynia. Treatment should avoid alcohol and spicy foods, prevent prolonged riding or sitting, and maintain regular sexual activity. In traditional Chinese medicine, and medications should be used. Daily hot sitz baths and weekly prostatic massages can be beneficial. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
