Patient's question:
These days I've been feeling that my body isn't very comfortable, so I had my family take a look, and they said my symptoms are very similar to prostatitis. I've never had this experience before, so I want to know what I should do. I'd like to ask, what kind of anti-inflammatory medicine should be taken for prostatitis symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic treatment is necessary and urgent. It is recommended to start intravenous antibiotics, such as broad-spectrum penicillins, third-generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, or fluoroquinolones (e.g., levofloxacin). Once fever and other symptoms stabilize, oral medications (such as fluoroquinolones) should be continued for at least a period of time.For chronic prostatitis, anti-inflammatory drugs should be chosen based on their ability to penetrate the prostate. Recommended anti-inflammatory drugs include fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin), tetracyclines (e.g., minocycline), and sulfonamides (e.g., sulfamethoxazole).
