Patient's question:
I am 36 years old and self-employed. Although my life is affluent, my marital life is not harmonious because I often attend banquets and drink a lot of beer. During sexual activity, I have difficulty maintaining an erection, and I frequently experience premature ejaculation and painful intercourse. Additionally, I have a split stream when urinating. My wife said I might have prostatitis, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. Later, I learned that I have prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. I had planned to have another child recently.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is one of the common infectious diseases in men, characterized primarily by hematospermia. The treatment of male prostatitis generally includes the following aspects:(1) Use appropriate antibiotics: Treatment for male prostatitis should continue for 1–2 weeks after symptoms completely disappear; for chronic prostatitis, treatment should be maintained for more than 4 weeks to ensure lasting efficacy.
(2) Rest in bed: Provide laxatives to keep bowel movements regular.
(3) Establish a regular lifestyle: Treatment for male prostatitis should balance work and rest, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and spicy, irritating foods.
It is recommended that you seek professional medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital. Timely medical attention is important, along with proper self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding irritating foods. We hope that patients with prostatitis can receive professional treatment.
