Patient's question:
During this year's health check-up, I found out that I actually have non-bacterial prostatitis. I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a while and took some herbal patches, but the effect was not significant. I want to see a Western medicine doctor, but I don't know if antibiotics are effective for non-bacterial prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
If you have already carefully diagnosed non-bacterial prostatitis from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it involves clearing heat, detoxifying, draining dampness, and promoting diuresis. If the medication has not shown significant effects after a long period of use, and you want to see a Western medicine doctor, the first step is to conduct a thorough bacterial culture and urinalysis.Medications are generally antibiotics, with the most commonly used drugs being Sanjin tablets, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, or ciprofloxacin. The daily treatment for prostatitis patients primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that prostatitis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
