Patient's question:
What are the treatment methods for acute and chronic prostatitis?Excessive urination, lower abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, and now swelling and pain in the limbs, weakness, and sometimes numbness—could this be a symptom of prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is generally an acute or chronic inflammation caused by infection, with multiple pathogens and a wide classification, which can be confirmed through examination. Symptoms usually include systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue, as well as local symptoms like urinary urgency, frequent urination, and purulent urethral discharge. During bowel movements, white secretions may flow from the urethral opening. Treatment options include gentamicin, kanamycin, and cephalosporin, which can be used alone or in combination. Medication can be directly injected into the prostate through the perineum, or the liquid can be directly injected into the prostate lesions under ultrasound guidance, once or twice a week, with 10 sessions constituting a course of treatment. Drinking more water daily is also helpful.
