Patient's question:
Prostate fluid routine examination shows white blood cells, and prostate fluid bacterial culture identifies Proteus mirabilis. Can Proteus mirabilis prostatitis be cured? It is resistant to most antibiotics, only sensitive to cephalosporins, which are the types requiring intravenous infusion. I have been treated for over 10 months, and the doctor has suggested discontinuing treatment. How should I proceed with treatment?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is very common and troublesome. It is caused by bacterial infection and prolonged duration, which poses significant harm to health and daily life, requiring early treatment to stabilize the condition. For patients, it is necessary to perform prostatic fluid culture to identify the pathogen and implement effective antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Most cases are difficult to heal on their own, and it is important to drink more water, urinate frequently to stabilize, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
