Patient's question:
Father has been experiencing frequent urination and a strong urge to urinate during sleep, unable to empty his bladder, and has been putting off seeing a doctor for a long time. Recently, after a thorough examination, he was found to have chronic prostatitis. The elderly man is quite old, and the medication has not been effective. He wants to consult a doctor on how to treat chronic prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
The treatment effect of chronic prostatitis is often not ideal. Optional antibiotics include erythromycin and doxycycline, which have strong penetration capabilities. Currently, the drugs used in clinical diagnosis include quinolones and cephalosporins. Additionally, prostatic massage can be performed once a week. It is also necessary to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, and to prevent prolonged cycling or sitting. Regular sexual activity should also be maintained. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with prostatitis need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you!
