Patient's question:
My boyfriend is not very hygienic. I've been teasing him that he might get prostatitis earlier. As expected, he's been uncomfortable when using the restroom lately and says he has bacterial prostatitis. I'd like to ask what medication is good for bacterial prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
The main cause of acute bacterial prostatitis is due to urethral downward transmission. The primary treatment involves oral antibiotics, commonly including quinolones such as levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin, as well as cephalosporins and meglumine. In general treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, use analgesics for severe pain relief, and apply blood-activating treatments. The prerequisite for treatment is to seek medical diagnosis at a hospital and avoid self-medication.
