Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency recently, and I suspect I might have prostatitis. Hello, regarding the treatment of prostatitis, is it expensive? What is the approximate cost?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic Treatment: SMZco can be used (this drug easily penetrates the prostate, has a strong effect on most bacteria, and is inexpensive; stop use if allergic to sulfonamides). Take 2 tablets each time, twice daily, for 4-6 weeks to achieve the best effect. Other antibiotics such as erythromycin derivatives (erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, idazoxan), tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline), quinolones (sparfloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, fleroxacin), semi-synthetic penicillins, and cephalosporins (e.g., amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, amoxicillin-sulbactam, Ceftriaxone, Cefoperazone-sulbactam) can also be used, requiring 4-6 weeks of continuous use.
