Patient's question:
After taking medication for several months for prostatitis, I have been experiencing increased flatulence and gastrointestinal discomfort, as well as more frequent bowel movements daily. What could be the issue? Is it caused by taking too many antibiotics? If it is due to excessive antibiotic use, are there any ways to remedy it or are the side effects severe?Doctor's answer:
Your situation doesn't need to be overly worried. Generally, it is recommended to have children after controlling prostatitis well. The standard treatment course usually takes one to two months to improve, and you can have a timely follow-up after one month. Additionally, ask your husband to have a routine semen analysis to check the quality of his sperm. If the sperm quality is very high, it will not affect having children.
