Patient's question:
What are the medications for treating prostatitis?With chronic prostatitis, as long as there are symptoms of incomplete urination, taking cephalexin capsules for 7 days has slightly alleviated the symptoms. However, recently, frequent urination and incomplete urination have worsened again. What's going on?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is primarily medicinal, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, maintain a healthy and regular sexual life, undergo weekly prostate massages, physical therapy, and warm sitz baths. These measures can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
