Patient's question:
Prostatitis, took ciprofloxacin for ten days without effect, then took levofloxacin for half a month without effect, and cefradin for five days also didn't work. Recently took azithromycin dispersible tablets and Qian Mao Shutong for five days. Have been taking a decoction prescribed by a Chinese medicine doctor for one and a half months, but the white blood cells haven't decreased. What should I do now? Mainly have frequent urination, incomplete urination, occasional discomfort in the perineum, lower back pain, and a bloated lower abdomen. Is the prostatitis bacterial or non-bacterial?Doctor's answer:
If the medication for prostatitis does not show significant effects, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and use intravenous drip antibiotics for treatment. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, abstain from smoking and alcohol, drink more water, and get adequate rest. Avoid sexual activity for the time being and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during the treatment.
