Patient's question:
Recently, when I repeatedly experienced symptoms of erectile dysfunction in the same room, I had difficulty urinating. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have prostatitis. Can azithromycin be used to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily treated with medication, usually with antibiotics, supplemented by other comprehensive evaluations. Azithromycin is also an effective option, though not mandatory. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. In addition to avoiding smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, maintaining a proper and normal sex life, and regularly performing prostate massage, physical therapy, and hot Sitz baths can be beneficial. These practices can enhance metabolism, stabilize blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. We must actively pursue treatment.
