Patient's question:
Because I often sit in the office and haven't exercised for a long time, I recently feel a bit of urgency to urinate. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said I have prostatitis and need treatment. I want to know more about it. How is prostatitis pain treated?Doctor's answer:
To promptly implement a comprehensive evaluation and treatment for prostatitis, you should seek a formal hospital to determine the type of prostatitis you have. Type I is primarily treated with antibiotics. Catheterization can be used for patients with urinary retention. Type II is mainly treated with oral antibiotics, with a course of 4-6 weeks. Type IIIA can be treated with oral antibiotics for 2-4 weeks, and then the choice of whether to continue antibiotic treatment is based on the therapeutic response. Type III B is treated with anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. Type IV usually does not require treatment. It is commonly caused by conditions such as prostatitis, and you can visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. If it is a bacterial infection, it can be treated with antibiotics such as cephalosporins and quinolones. Drink more water, avoid spicy foods, and do not maintain a prolonged sitting posture.
