Patient's question:
I had prostatitis a year ago, and recently I've been feeling uncomfortable, thinking it was a recurrence of the disease. However, the results showed it's actually seminal vesiculitis. Doctor, how should I treat seminal vesiculitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of seminal vesiculitis typically involves seminal fluid bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing. Based on the results of the drug sensitivity test, sensitive antibiotics are determined for treatment. The course of treatment is approximately 4 weeks. If no drug sensitivity test is available, empirical treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as quinolone antibiotics, can also be considered. Therefore, it is recommended to complete the full course of treatment and avoid stopping medication on your own to prevent the condition from worsening. Additionally, it is advised to maintain moderate sexual activity, avoiding excessive frequency, overly intense intercourse, or prolonged cold exposure. Alcohol and spicy, irritating foods should be avoided, and prolonged sitting or long-distance cycling should be avoided to prevent the condition from recurring.
