Patient's question:
What foods are good for chronic prostatitis? I don't want to go to the hospital because it's too expensive. I also often eat spicy food. I used to have chronic prostatitis, and it has been a year since it got better, but now I'm experiencing pain when urinating and discomfort in my testicles. Can I buy medicine for treating chronic prostatitis at a pharmacy? How should I deal with this?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of prostatitis, the main approach is medication, primarily antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used drugs include erythromycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, maintain a healthy and regular sexual life, have a prostate massage once a week, undergo physical therapy, and take warm sitz baths. These measures can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid foods, smoking, and alcohol; pay attention to keeping warm; avoid strenuous activities and prolonged sitting; and urinate promptly, avoiding holding in urine.
