Patient's question:
Frequent urination, incomplete urination, lower abdominal pain, diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. Currently taking antibiotics such as levofloxacin and cephaloridine for about 40 days, with no improvement. Prostatic fluid examination shows white blood cells maintained at around 4+ at times, with occasional pus cells.Doctor's answer:
Once clinical diagnosis or blood and urine culture results are obtained, antibiotics should be administered immediately. Initially, antibiotics can be given intravenously, such as broad-spectrum penicillin, third-generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, or fluoroquinolones. After the patient's fever and other symptoms improve, oral medication should be used, with a treatment duration of at least 4 weeks. Patients with milder symptoms should also take oral antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks. It is essential to seek medical attention at formal hospitals. Some hospitals I know of include: Dazhou University of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated Hospital, North Sichuan Medical College Affiliated Hospital, and Chengdu Medical College Affiliated Hospital.
