Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult about how to treat acute prostatitis. I have been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, blood in urine, lower abdominal pain, weakness in limbs, decreased libido, and premature ejaculation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it is acute prostatitis. Please, doctor, help me understand this.Doctor's answer:
Acute prostatitis is primarily an infectious disease caused by inflammation and irritation. Therefore, this condition is typically treated with oral antibiotics for anti-infection. It is recommended to visit the urology department of your local hospital, undergo a routine urine test, and consider tests such as prostatic fluid culture and drug sensitivity to identify the specific bacteria causing the infection. This allows for targeted treatment. Alternatively, some traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as clearing heat and promoting diuresis, can also be used for treatment.
