Patient's question:
I previously had bacterial prostatitis, which was later cured. After being cured, I wore back the underwear I wore during the prostatitis period. The underwear was washed with laundry detergent. Will I get reinfected due to this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is a common disease in men, with the majority occurring in young and middle-aged adults. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical practice, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate among adults.Treatment for Acute Prostatitis:
Patients should rest in bed, drink plenty of water, and take measures to promote bowel movements. For severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesics and antispasmodic drugs, as well as warm sitz baths, can be used to relieve symptoms. Antibiotics that can be selected include penicillin, amoxicillin, cephalexin, and Cefixime.

Treatment for Chronic Prostatitis:
This includes general treatment, prostate massage, drug irrigation, peri-prostatic tissue closure, and the combined use of antibiotics. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used in conjunction.
