Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination, pain during urination, and a split stream of urine recently. I suspect I might have prostatitis. What should I pay attention to after getting prostatitis, and how can it be completely cured? What are the treatment options available? How should I treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, when a patient with prostatitis exhibits obvious systemic symptoms, has a high fever, and shows a significant decrease in white blood cells in the blood, intravenous medication should be administered. After 1 week, oral medication should be switched to continue treatment until 1 month. It is recommended to select a broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic that can diffuse and penetrate into the prostate quickly and effectively to rapidly control symptoms and prevent the condition from becoming chronic prostatitis. Once the bacterial culture results are available, a sensitive antibiotic should be used.Recommendation: It is advised that patients visit a local reputable specialized hospital in a timely manner to understand the treatment options. Following the doctor's instructions and taking medication under the guidance of a physician for symptomatic treatment is essential to achieve effective results.
