Patient's question:
I am a driver for a company and often drive long distances for deliveries. In recent months, I have been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating. After checking at the hospital, they said I have prostatitis, which makes me very worried.Doctor's answer:
After suffering from prostatitis, the first step is to identify the cause before starting treatment. Based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, select sensitive medications, use them in adequate doses, and follow the prescribed course of treatment. The three most commonly used medications are antibiotics (fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and lomefloxacin), α-receptor blockers (terazosin, afilluzine, doxazosin, tamsulosin, and naftopidil), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Other medications (plant preparations, M-receptor blockers, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs) also have varying degrees of effectiveness in relieving symptoms.
