Patient's question:
I have some confusion about prostatitis and would like to ask an expert for advice. Is this condition related to sexual activity? Does not being circumcised lead to this disease? Will it affect future fertility? Is it necessary to treat it, and can it be cured? What are the risks if it's left untreated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications, as there is a significant correlation between prostatitis and bacterial infections. Additionally, other factors such as mycoplasma or chlamydia-induced non-bacterial inflammation may also be present. Currently, macrolide-class medications are required to address and control these issues. Excessive foreskin can also contribute to the problem. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
