Patient's question:
Dad has been experiencing frequent urination and urgency to urinate recently, but when he goes to the toilet, he can't seem to empty his bladder completely. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed him with chronic prostatitis. My friend mentioned that antibiotics could be used to treat it. Can chronic prostatitis be cured with antibiotics? If it can, what kind of antibiotics should be used?Doctor's answer:
Effective use of antibiotics is key to treating prostatitis. The treatment methods for chronic prostatitis include the use of compound Huang'an and furazolidone as essential medications. The treatment should last at least six weeks. If the results are not satisfactory, new medications can be switched based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity results. His treatment methods also include hot baths, drug ion penetration, microwave therapy, etc. Prostatitis patients need to pay attention to avoiding alcohol, prolonged sitting, maintaining moderate sexual activity, avoiding spicy foods, and avoiding long-term cycling.
