Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen, with some bloating and frequent urination. In the past, when I had sexual activity, I didn't go for a thorough examination and just bought some anti-inflammatory medicine from a pharmacy. After taking it for a while, there was still some discomfort. What are some good treatment methods for a condition like mine with prostatitis?What kind of help do you need: How to regulate prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
Treatment Methods for Prostatitis1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapy
TCM plays a significant role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. However, due to the long duration of TCM treatment and its slow onset of action, patients may be unable to persist with the therapy to achieve full recovery and may prematurely discontinue it, which can lead to prolonged and difficult-to-cure symptoms of prostatitis.
2. Antibiotic Therapy
This treatment method is the simplest and easiest to administer. However, it often yields minimal efficacy because antibiotics are easily suppressed by drug resistance and struggle to achieve effective concentrations in the prostate. This failure to promptly heal the prostate leaves patients with lingering concerns and potential complications.
Anesthesia Therapy
Since systemic antibiotic use does not easily achieve effective concentrations in the prostate, thereby interfering with treatment, a direct instillation of antibiotics into the prostate has emerged as an alternative approach.
