Patient's question:
I have always been taking medication to treat prostatitis. The symptoms of frequent urination and urgency that I used to have have disappeared, but recently, I have experienced palpitations and dizziness again. When I consulted a doctor, he said it might be a side effect of the medication and advised me to take some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body.Doctor's answer:
1. Drink plenty of water to increase urine output and wipe off urethral secretions during urination;2. Use tranquilizing, blood-activating, and spasm-relieving drugs to alleviate pain;
3. Rest and avoid sexual activity in the acute phase for a short period;
4. Antibiotic treatment (Norfloxacin). The effective antibiotic will be determined based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests;
5. Clean the private area with pH 4 weakly acidic care solution to complement antibiotic use.
Prostatitis is a severe condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
