Patient's question:
In 2009, I contracted Mycoplasma and Chlamydia urethritis due to a non-sterile sexual act. This later led to chronic prostatitis. I tried various intravenous infusions, traditional Chinese medicine, and physical therapy, but the urethritis improved while the chronic prostatitis never fully healed.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis, due to the physiological characteristics of the prostate, often yields unsatisfactory results with medication alone. Therefore, it is essential to select sensitive medications based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, administer them in adequate doses, and follow a prescribed course of treatment. Additionally, selective physical methods such as microwave therapy, shortwave therapy, guided fusion, multifunctional therapy, and infusion should be combined. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to assess treatment effectiveness, allowing for adjustments in medication dosage or changes in medication.Furthermore, self-care plays a crucial role in both treatment and preventing recurrence. Examples include: reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods, avoiding overexertion, engaging in appropriate exercise, and maintaining warmth. Sexual activity should be avoided during treatment to prevent interference with therapeutic outcomes. Specific methods must be determined based on clinical conditions. It is recommended to consult a specialized department in a reputable hospital under the guidance of a physician for targeted medication.
