Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I am 43 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling a slight pain in my prostate, which later became more painful. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The report said it was mild prostatitis. Doctor, is it difficult for mild prostatitis to heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is usually caused by delayed treatment or incomplete self-healing of acute prostatitis. Since the epithelial cells of chronic prostatitis have a lipid membrane, it is difficult for antibiotics to penetrate into the cells, which is why the treatment of chronic prostatitis is often ineffective. Therefore, treating chronic prostatitis not only requires the use of antibiotics but also needs to be combined with weekly hot Sitz baths and prostate massage as supplementary treatments to promote the resolution of inflammation.
