Patient's question:
I've been experiencing lower back pain and urinary urgency with incomplete urination these days. I've been to the toilet many times a day, but there's never much urine when I go. Yesterday, the doctor diagnosed me with acute prostatitis. Which medication is good for treating prostatitis? Doctor, please help me. I'm afraid of potential long-term consequences.Doctor's answer:
Acute prostatitis can be caused by bacterial infections, which may lead to symptoms such as recurring lower back pain, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, increased nocturia, and others. There are many medications available for treating prostatitis. It is recommended to determine the appropriate broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment through bacterial culture of prostatic fluid. Examples of such medications include sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and cephalosporins, among others. For specific medication use, please follow the doctor's advice. Prostatitis can be a serious condition, so it is advised that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care and maintain a proper diet to help alleviate the condition.
