Patient's question:
I have been experiencing severe pain while urinating recently, and the pain is frequent. Sometimes the urine is even bloody. At night, I most often feel the urge to urinate, as if I can't empty my bladder completely. How should I treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, antibiotics are a common method for treating prostatitis. Due to the unique structure of prostate tissue, drugs cannot penetrate deeply into the prostate in high doses, nor can they break through the lipid membrane of the prostate epithelium to enter. Moreover, this method is highly prone to secondary bacterial infection of the prostate and can only provide temporary symptom relief for early-stage prostatitis localized near the midlobe. Because the prostate contains an extremely rich endoplasmic reticulum, drugs cannot be distributed locally through mechanical pushing. They can only to each lobe following the supply pattern.
