Can prostatitis be treated?

Patient's question:

My sister and brother-in-law have been married for five years. However, due to training reasons, they haven't had children yet. Now they want to have a child, but my brother-in-law has been carefully checked and found to have prostatitis. The doctor said that treatment is needed before pregnancy. Can prostatitis be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it seems that prostatitis is a curable condition, so there is no need for excessive worry. During the acute phase of prostatitis, it is important to focus on anti-inflammatory treatment. In the chronic phase, treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is necessary. You can take an oral medication for BPH, such as finasteride or tamsulosin. The two medications can be taken together in small doses, orally, for more than two months.
