Patient's question:
My father is 60 years old this year. When he was young, he worked day and night in the factory, which led to all sorts of health problems. Yesterday, we took him to the hospital for a health check-up and found out that he has levofloxacin-induced prostatitis. We are all very worried because my father is getting older. Could you please advise on what we should do?Doctor's answer:
The patient has prostatitis, which can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, pelvic and sacral pain, and sexual dysfunction. The main considerations are pathogen infection, excessive sexual activity, and frequent masturbation. Prostatitis is divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. Prostatic fluid can be extracted for laboratory tests, and the diagnosis is based on the examination results. Currently, antibiotic drugs can be used for treatment, and it is recommended to drink more water. Prostatitis is a serious condition, and it is advised that the patient seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care and proper diet to avoid worsening the condition. The above information is hoped to help you. Thank you.
