Patient's question:
I have had a relatively sharp pain during urination this morning. After a careful examination, it was diagnosed as prostatitis. Can prostatitis be cured, and how long does the treatment take?Doctor's answer:
If the disease is treated symptomatically, it can heal quickly on its own. It generally takes about a month. When the patient's systemic symptoms are prominent, the body temperature is high, and the white blood cell count in the blood is significantly decreased, intravenous medication should be administered. After 1 week, oral medication should be switched until the end of the month. When the patient's systemic symptoms are mild, and the body temperature and blood tests are normal, oral medication can be given. The general course of treatment is 1 month. Antimicrobial drugs that can diffuse into the prostate and are fast-acting and effective should be selected to quickly suppress symptoms and prevent the condition from becoming chronic prostatitis. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence.
