Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. How many days do I need to avoid sexual activity for a prostate and semen examination?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, it is recommended that you actively treat it. Prostatitis is difficult to be completely cured, so it is hoped that you are mentally prepared and actively treat it. The treatment of prostatitis is best to adopt a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. First, use antibiotics for 7-14 days, then use traditional Chinese medicine for consolidation therapy. The treatment of prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to be completely cured. During the treatment, drink more water, avoid sitting or riding for long periods, do not eat stimulating foods, do not smoke or drink alcohol, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment in a regular hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy: warm Sitz bath. Pour about 40% of the water (not feeling hot when your hand is placed in) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit for 10-30 minutes each time. Add a small amount of hot water when the water temperature drops to keep it at an effective temperature. Do it 1-2 times a day, with 10 days as one course. It is beneficial for the discharge of inflammatory secretions. Generally, avoid sexual activity for 7 days.
