How should prostatitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Prostatitis has been a problem for several years. Recently, the duration of sexual activity has significantly increased, but it's only about two minutes, which is causing great distress. I have found a treatment plan and hope the doctor can review it to see if it's feasible.
Treatment: Follow a three-step approach:
1. Anti-inflammatory phase (broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover all pathogens and prevent cross-infection. Additionally, take warm water sitz baths twice a day, each lasting 40 minutes. For unmarried individuals, support the testicles.)
2. Tongue coating returns to normal (color, moisture, thickness), pulse becomes normal, and clinical symptoms largely disappear or completely disappear.

Doctor's answer:

Quit sexual intercourse, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, prevent long hours of sitting, and increase the frequency of sexual activity. Take some medication for treatment. Taking a hot bath while on medication is more effective. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding long periods of sitting.
