Hello, the main route of infection for prostatitis is retrograde infection through the urethra. The inability of most antibiotics to penetrate the prostate is also a reason why chronic prostatitis is difficult to cure. The main symptoms of prostatitis include urinary irritation, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, difficulty urinating, discomfort or pain in the perineum, lower back pain, radiating pain in the perineum and testicles, leukorrhea at the urethral orifice, and sexual dysfunction, as well as neurosis. Treatment for prostatitis. Erythromycin, compound neomycin, and doxycycline, which are known for their strong penetration, are considered the first-line drugs. They are generally used continuously for two to three weeks. It is important to maintain regular sexual activity. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and spicy or acidic foods. Physical therapy and hot Sitz baths can reduce local inflammation, promote absorption, and improve blood circulation.
