How should prostatitis be treated?

Patient's question:

For the past two or three years, there have been occasional pains in the groin area below the scrotum, especially after urination, when the pain lasts for a while. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital to see a doctor, had a routine examination of prostatic fluid, and everything was normal. The doctor diagnosed it as Category 3B prostatitis and said I have prostatodynia.

Doctor's answer:

General treatment: Warm sitz bath can alleviate symptoms. Anti-inflammatory drugs (indomethacin, ibuprofen) and anticholinergic drugs (probenecid, etc.) can relieve urinary irritation symptoms and pain. In addition to medication, attention should also be paid to the following:
1. Maintaining a regular lifestyle and engaging in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness;
2. Avoiding alcohol and spicy foods;
3. Having regular sexual activity, 1-2 times per week;
4. When prostatic fluid is viscous and contains a high number of white blood cells, intermittent prostate massage can be performed to express prostatic fluid;
5. Warm sitz bath can help alleviate symptoms to a certain extent.
