How is fungal prostatitis treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling constant body pain and overall weakness. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me I have candidal prostatitis. I'd like to consult with the doctor on how to treat candidal prostatitis.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal prostatitis is a type of bacterial prostatitis caused by the transmission of pathogens such as molds or fungi to the prostate, leading to symptoms such as cottage cheese-like discharge from the urethral opening, as well as pain, frequent urination, urgent urination, and dysuria. Antifungal medications can be used for symptomatic oral treatment, such as oral griseofulvin tablets, ketoconazole tablets, or nystatin tablets. During treatment, sexual activity should be restricted to avoid cross-infection.
