Doctor's answer:

Hello, treatment of chronic prostatitis:

Take warm sitz baths once a night, undergo local physical therapy, and modify obvious lifestyle triggers, such as avoiding prolonged cycling.
2. Prostate massage: Regular prostate massage can promote the discharge of prostatitic secretions. Perform once a week, and simultaneously conduct routine prostatic fluid tests to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
3. Drug instillation: Insert a specially designed balloon catheter through the urethra, inject sterile physiological saline into the prostatic urethra, and aspirate several times to remove purulent secretions. Then, inject antibiotics. Perform once a week.
4. Urethral dilation: For patients with urethral stricture or obstruction, regular dilation facilitates excretion. Additionally, when a probe passes through the urethra, it can stretch the prostate orifice, promoting glandular drainage.

Take specific treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor.
