Is prostatitis serious?

Patient's question:

Hello:
Thank you very much for taking the time to check my post!
My illness has caused me great pain. I have undergone numerous tests in many hospitals, including multiple prostate microbial culture + drug allergy tests. The results were: coagulase-positive Staphylococcus prostatitis. Additionally, my sperm test showed low motility, with a vitality rate of 70.69%. The grades were: Grade A (29.31%), Grade B (7.76%), Grade C (33.62%), and Grade D (29.31%). The pH value was 7.3, with 21.54% abnormal sperm and 78.46% normal sperm. The normal morphology accounted for 78.46%, while the abnormal morphology was 21.54%.

Doctor's answer:

Coagulase is an enzyme used by bacteria to invade tissues. Generally, bacteria that are coagulase-positive tend to be more pathogenic.
However, whether it is severe or not depends on its response to treatment. Bacteria with weak pathogenicity can also cause chronic infections, so you need to do drug sensitivity testing to determine the medication. It could be caused by a sexually transmitted disease, at least it is related to poor hygiene.
Levofloxacin is effective against staphylococcus, while erythromycin is primarily used for mycoplasma and chlamydia. However, you might have a combined infection in these areas, so it is still necessary to take it. It is recommended to choose medication based on drug sensitivity results.
If your prostatitis does not improve after a period of treatment, it is advisable to pay attention to your lifestyle. Quitting smoking and alcohol consumption is very important.
