Patient's question:
I had been experiencing lower abdominal pain for a while, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, when I started having pain while urinating, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination revealed prostatitis. What medication should be taken for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate gland caused by various complex causes and triggers, including autoimmune and neuroendocrine-related intricate pathological changes, leading to clinical manifestations primarily characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. The main symptoms include frequent urination accompanied by urgency and dysuria, hematospermia, prostatic secretions containing pus cells, testicular pain, urethral bleeding, prostate enlargement, suprapubic pain, reduced or intermittent urine flow, post-micturition dribbling, and cloudy, mucous-like urine. Antibiotic treatment is a common method for treating prostatitis.
