Patient's question:
My wife suddenly felt the need to urinate very frequently and had the symptom of urgency to urinate the other day. Recently, she has often complained of lower back pain. I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just because of being too tired from training. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was acute prostatitis, recommending to receive intravenous fluids for a week.Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Acute ProstatitisAcute prostatitis can be treated with sensitive antibiotics determined by bacterial culture results of urine or prostatic fluid. However, in the initial stage of treatment, when bacterial culture results are not available promptly or under limited conditions, it is important to promptly use adequate and highly effective broad-spectrum antibiotics to control the progression of the disease. Currently, cephalosporin antibiotics are commonly used, administered every 6 hours for a total of one week. Subsequently, medication selection should be based on bacterial culture and susceptibility tests, with focused treatment lasting for 30 days.
For patients, if the condition of prostatitis is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of prostatitis. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone.
