Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my semen. The report said the white blood cell count was equivalent to 5. The doctor told me that it's best to be below 5, and said I have prostatitis. Is this prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, having prostatitis does not affect fertility. 1. General treatment: You should rest in bed for 3-4 days, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and spicy foods. Hot sitz baths or cold compresses to the perineum can be effective, and it is important to maintain regular bowel movements. Abstain from sexual activity. 2. Antibiotic treatment: Commonly used antibiotics include cephalosporins and fluoroquinolone anti-infective drugs. For patients, if the prostatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of prostatitis. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers above can help everyone.
