Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is a common disease in men, mostly occurring in young and middle-aged adults. In clinical diagnosis, prostatitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical diagnosis, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate among adults.Treatment for acute prostatitis: Patients should rest in bed, drink more water, and take measures to promote bowel movements. For severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesic and spasm-relieving drugs, as well as hot sitz baths, can be used to alleviate symptoms. Antibiotics that can be used include penicillin, ampicillin,, and Cefixime.
