Patient's question:
Where is the place we are looking at here? Recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my lower body, some pain, and also frequently going to the bathroom!Doctor's answer:
Currently, many advocate the use of quinolone drugs such as ofloxacin or levofloxacin. If ineffective, continue for 8 weeks. If recurrence occurs with the same bacterial strain, switch to a preventive dose to reduce acute episodes and alleviate symptoms. If long-term antibiotic use induces severe side effects, such as pseudomembranous colitis, diarrhea, or the proliferation of intestinal drug-resistant strains, the treatment plan should be changed. The use of antibiotics for non-bacterial prostatitis remains debated in clinical practice. "Aseptic" prostatitis patients can also use drugs effective against bacteria and mycoplasma, such as quinolones, SMZ-TMP, or TMP alone, combined with tetracycline or quinolones, or used alternately. If antibiotic treatment is ineffective and confirmed as aseptic prostatitis, antibiotic therapy should be discontinued. Additionally, using a double-balloon catheter to close the prostatic urethra and injecting antibiotic solution into the urethral cavity, allowing it to reflux into the prostatic ducts, can also achieve therapeutic goals.
