Patient's question:
During the intermediate stage of antibiotic and medication treatment for prostatitis, I temporarily experienced urethral pain again because I couldn't resist having sex once. I feel very regretful. Will this affect the treatment? What are the treatment methods for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves medication, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive evaluations. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is recommended to quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, maintain a proper and normal sexual life, and engage in weekly prostate massages, physical therapy, and hot Sitz baths. These measures can enhance metabolism, stabilize blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. We wish you a speedy recovery.For severe cases of prostatitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately. Treatment should be based on the doctor's recommendations and avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results.
