Patient's question:
Prostatitis has been more than a year. The initial examination revealed acute prostatitis, but the recent examination results have changed to chronic. How to treat acute and chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged men, often caused by retrograde or hematogenous transmission of pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus. Drinking alcohol, upper respiratory infections, excessive sexual activity, chronic perineal injuries, and long-term constipation can lead to it. It is recommended to treat with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Short-term use of α-adrenergic blockers (e.g., Doxazosin) may also be prescribed. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid holding urine, and maintain a light diet. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals immediately.
