Patient's question:
Last night after having sex with my wife, there was a fresh red flow of blood, and it still hurts a bit. It stopped flowing today. Why? I have mild prostatitis, and apart from feeling cold, I have taken a lot of rheumatic medications without any effect.Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of prostatitis is primarily based on a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. If the number of white blood cells in the prostatic fluid exceeds 10 per high-power field, it indicates prostatitis. Patients with prostatitis need to take antibiotics, commonly quinolones or cephalosporins. Additionally, many α-adrenergic blockers and traditional Chinese medicines are used. The most important thing to pay attention to when taking medication is to be patient, as it may take more than a month to see improvement. Daily lifestyle habits should also be noted, such as avoiding spicy foods, alcohol, and prolonged sitting, as well as maintaining regular sexual activity. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can their immunity and the ability to combat the disease be reduced. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away prostatitis.
