Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. The detailed examination showed white blood cells filling the entire field of vision, but after 48 hours of bacterial culture, there were no bacteria and the mycoplasma test was negative. Is this considered non-bacterial prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis with leukopenia requires a new antibiotic. Generally, levofloxacin tablets and azithromycin can be taken orally. If there are symptoms of frequent urination and pelvic discomfort, tamsulosin can be taken. If the urinary frequency symptoms are severe, solifenacin can be added. Currently, the main goal is to suppress symptoms and treat inflammation. Treating chronic prostatitis is often laborious and time-consuming, so patience is required. Generally, it is advisable to avoid overtime work, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sitting in a cold environment, as well as spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
