Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable with urination, and I have to hold it for a long time every time. Then I went to see a doctor, who said it was prostatitis and prescribed some medication for me. But after taking it, I didn't feel any improvement. I want to ask, can bacterial prostatitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Acute bacterial prostatitis has a relatively good prognosis. After the diagnosis of bacterial prostatitis, broad-spectrum antibiotics can be administered for treatment. The patient should continue to take medication for one to two weeks after the symptoms disappear to prevent recurrence. Chronic prostatitis is more difficult to treat, and it is often challenging to achieve a complete cure. However, symptoms can be stabilized through treatment. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, practice restrained sexual activity, avoid spicy foods, and abstain from alcohol.
