Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have prostatitis. I haven't gone to the hospital for treatment because I'm afraid of taking medicine and the like. I want to buy some medicine from a pharmacy to treat it myself. Could you please tell me what medicine is needed for prostatitis? Can I have sexual intercourse during the course of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common urological condition diagnosed in clinical practice, primarily caused by inflammatory infections. It is also associated with certain unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, such as frequent masturbation or sexual activity, exposure to cold, smoking, and drinking beer. Taking medications like quinolone or cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs, along with tablets like Pulegan and capsules like Qianmao Shu, combined with acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy, can yield excellent treatment results. Additionally, it is important to maintain proper care and avoid unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits. Sexual activity can exacerbate the condition of prostatitis.
