Can men with prostatitis take cephalexin?

Patient's question:

My wife bought me a lot of cephalosporin today because I had a recurrence of prostatitis last night. I ran to the bathroom several times throughout the night and felt extremely uncomfortable. Can I take cephalosporin for prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis in men is also a relatively common disease. Sometimes, digestive issues or the spread of inflammation may lead to recurrence. When taking medication, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs like cephalosporins or levofloxacin, as these are effective in treating male prostatitis. Many types of anti-inflammatory drugs, including cephalosporins, can be used, and levofloxacin can also be taken. Chronic prostatitis is more prevalent among adults.
