Patient's question:
There is some swelling inside the urethra. Upon careful examination, the results showed chronic prostatitis and urethral bacterial infection. What medication should be used for chronic prostatitis caused by urethral bacterial infection?Doctor's answer:
Actually, many drugs are effective against prostatitis. However, due to the internal structure of the prostate gland, it is difficult for prostate drugs to fully achieve their therapeutic effect. As a result, incomplete treatment can easily lead to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Some drugs that have a relatively good therapeutic effect include Pipemidic acid, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin, and Cephalosporins. To prevent bacteria from developing resistance to a particular antibiotic, it is recommended to switch to a new antibiotic every 10 to 15 days.
