Patient's question:
I have had discomfort in the prostate for 30 days. 15 days ago, there was discharge from the urethral orifice, followed by urethral pain and pain in the testicles that was bent. I took Cefixime, and the discharge stopped, but then the urethral pain returned, along with bloating and pain in the lower abdomen. 5 days ago, I came to the hospital for a thorough examination. Now, I am receiving intravenous drips with Azithromycin, Cefixime, and Vitamin B6. I am also undergoing physical therapy, including extracorporeal shortwave therapy and pulsed electroacupuncture, and taking traditional Chinese medicine. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis has a slow recovery process, so you can focus on medication while also complementing it with hot water sitz baths. Don’t be too anxious—common and prevalent diseases require attention to hygiene in daily life. Avoid catching colds and experiencing stomach issues, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, and restrain from sexual activity or intercourse. Prevent prolonged sitting or squatting. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Prostatitis tends to fluctuate, so long-term oral medication is necessary. For male patients, it’s crucial to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
