Patient's question:
I often feel pain while urinating, and it's always frequent urination and urgency, especially at night, when the frequency is even more noticeable. I can't rest well at night, and it's very painful. Sometimes the urine is even red. I think it might be prostatitis. What methods are generally used to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics are a common method for treating prostatitis. Due to the unique structure of prostate tissue, drugs cannot penetrate the prostate in large doses, nor can they break through the lipid membrane of the prostate epithelium to enter. Moreover, this method is highly prone to causing secondary bacterial infection of the prostate and can only provide temporary symptom relief for early-stage prostatitis localized near the midlobe. Patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
