Patient's question:
In the past few weeks, I have been constantly wanting to urinate, and every time I do, it feels painful. I also feel generally uncomfortable in my body. Sometimes, my urine is a bit red, and my appetite has become very poor. I feel like I have no energy at all.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics are a common method for treating prostatitis. Due to the unique structure of prostate tissue, drugs cannot enter the prostate in large quantities, nor can they penetrate the lipid membrane of the prostate epithelium to infiltrate. Moreover, this method is highly prone to causing secondary bacterial infection of the prostate, and it only has a temporary effect in reducing symptoms for early-stage prostatitis localized near the midlobe. Due to the extremely rich endoplasmic reticulum in the prostate, drugs cannot be distributed locally through mechanical pushing. They can only to each lobe through the supply pattern.
