Patient's question:
I have been experiencing pelvic pain for the past few days, sometimes accompanied by lower back pain. There has also been a significant increase in nighttime urination. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was caused by non-bacterial prostatitis. I would like to understand what medications are available for treating non-bacterial prostatitis and how effective they are.Doctor's answer:
Young male, recurrence of lower abdominal pain accompanied by frequent nighttime urination. Detailed examination revealed non-bacterial prostatitis. It is generally related to Mycoplasma and Chlamydia infection. Treatment can involve taking macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, or tetracycline-class antibiotics and quinolone-class antibiotics. Daily life requires increased fluid intake to enhance urine output. Local cold compress therapy is also recommended. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
