Patient's question:
UnmarriedDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Dietary methods for the prostate and ways to maintain prostate health due to a history of masturbation in the past
Current general condition: The scrotum is somewhat moist, there is some fatigue, and the feeling of spirit is not too good.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, medication is the primary treatment approach:Experimental treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics for 4–6 weeks, anti-inflammatory and herbal medications, α-receptor blockers, repeated prostate massage (2–3 times per week), lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, sexual activity, etc.), supportive therapies (psychological counseling, proper management, etc.), and microwave therapy.
1. General Treatment
It is important to reduce or eliminate patients' psychological stress while limiting the consumption of spicy foods and avoiding alcohol. Methods such as hot Sitz baths and prostate massage can effectively alleviate symptoms.
2. Antibacterial Treatment
Since non-bacterial prostatitis does not have a specific pathogen, general antibiotics are generally ineffective. When Mycoplasma or Chlamydia are suspected as causative factors, medications such as minocycline, doxycycline, and erythromycin may be used.
3. Other Medications
α-receptor blockers like Hytrin (terazosin) or spasmolytics like Urological Lin can also significantly relieve symptoms.
4. Prostate Hyperthermia
Transurethral or rectal prostate hyperthermia can provide certain therapeutic effects in alleviating patient symptoms.
Additional precautions to keep in mind:
1. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption;
2. Protect against dampness and cold;
3. Do not engage in overly frequent sexual activity;
4. Protect the perineal area;
5. Prevent infections. Use protective measures during sexual activity and avoid extramarital relationships as much as possible. Prevent cross-infection by having the patient's partner undergo examinations to rule out gynecological infections. Avoid soaking in large communal bathtubs when using public baths.
