How should prostatitis be treated?

Patient's question:

I'm also not sure how I got prostatitis. Sometimes I feel difficulty urinating. Besides the burning sensation in the glans, I also pay attention to personal hygiene. How can prostatitis be treated to get better?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it involves broad-spectrum antibiotics, symptomatic treatment, and encouragement of treatment. For patients with urinary retention, fine catheterization or suprapubic bladder puncture for urine drainage can be used. For those with prostatic abscess, surgical drainage is recommended. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
