Patient's question:
I have had genital herpes for two years. Last month, when it broke out, I didn't take medication, and later experienced a stinging sensation when urinating. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis with severe inflammation. I took medication for two weeks, but there was no improvement. Yesterday, I went for a follow-up check, and it was still diagnosed as prostatitis. I was prescribed Levofloxacin Baoliekang Shuqianmao Shutong Fufang Shiwéi Jiaonang. Today, the herpes has broken out again. Can I take Valacyclovir?Doctor's answer:
First, the treatment of prostatitis must always maintain good lifestyle habits. With good lifestyle habits, it is very difficult to treat prostatitis. Prostatitis itself is not a very serious disease; don't imagine it as a severe disease. Regardless of the severity, the course of treatment is usually 1 to 3 months. Therefore, regular treatment and maintaining good lifestyle habits are the most important. During the treatment of prostatitis, genital herpes can be treated with valacyclovir while maintaining good lifestyle habits.
