Patient's question:
Chronic bacterial prostatitis, have been taking medication for eight weeks now, and the urinary frequency symptoms have been significantly relieved. Do I still need to focus on taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
A bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test for prostatic fluid are required. Then, based on the results of the drug sensitivity test, highly sensitive medications should be administered through intravenous drip in conjunction with oral medication for treatment. The medication should be continued for six to eight weeks or longer. Currently, eight weeks of treatment have been completed, and symptoms have been alleviated. It is recommended to stop medication for one week and then undergo a follow-up test. If bacteria are still present, dedicated medication treatment will be necessary. In addition to treating prostatitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life.
