Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom recently. Just to be safe, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have prostatitis. Could you please explain that if I get prostatitis, will taking medication be effective?Doctor's answer:
If the prostatitis is not too severe, medication can be effective. In such cases, it is recommended to receive intravenous fluids while also taking some antiviral antibiotics to reduce inflammation. This treatment should be administered for about three days, and then a follow-up check-up should be performed. If the symptoms do not improve, surgery may be recommended for treatment. Prostatitis often reoccurs due to prolonged sitting or poor hygiene habits. It is best to avoid these situations to prevent recurrence.
