Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your consultation, it is prostatitis. Generally, the first step is to test the prostatic fluid to determine whether it is bacterial prostatitis or non-bacterial prostatitis.
Advice: For non-bacterial prostatitis, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used for conditioning. If the prostatitis is caused by a bacterial infection, you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs and Pulegone tablets, Levofloxacin capsules, or Azithromycin tablets.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
