Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing frequent urination and urgency since yesterday, and today he still has a fever. He went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told he has bacterial prostatitis. He had never had this condition before. How should bacterial prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If the examination carefully diagnoses bacterial prostatitis, it is necessary to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics can be taken orally, commonly used drugs include ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. At the same time, oral traditional Chinese medicine tablets such as Pule'an tablets or Qianmao'an tablets should be taken for treatment. In most cases, it is necessary to use prostate massage and warm water sitz baths as supplementary treatments. Prostate conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
