Patient's question:
I have recently experienced frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, split urine stream, post-micturition dribbling, and an increasing number of nocturnal urinations. I also have decreased libido, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and weakened erections. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with fungal prostatitis. I would like to consult about it. What medications are effective for fungal prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the hospital carefully examines and determines that the urinary tract irritation symptoms are caused by prostatitis resulting from infection with this type of mold, the first step should be symptomatic treatment, increasing fluid intake, and strictly prohibiting sexual activity. Most cases are caused by sexual transmission, and generally, oral antifungal medications such as ketoconazole capsules or nystatin can be used for a course of antifungal treatment. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
