Patient's question:
Symptom Description: I suddenly noticed that I wasn't urinating properly, had frequent urination, and was drinking a lot more water last week. Today, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I am 22 years old and have never had this condition before. It has been slightly over a week.Treatment History and Effect: I have no prior treatment history, as this is my first time experiencing it.
Desired Help: I want to ask how to confirm whether it is acute or chronic prostatitis, and whether there is a possibility of a cure. I've heard that it can last a lifetime. How do antibiotics treat it? The doctor just gave me two medications and didn't do any drug sensitivity tests. I searched online and found that drug sensitivity tests should be done for the medication to be effective. I'm not sure what it is, and what is the likelihood of a cure?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, your condition is likely caused by acute prostatitis. The difference between acute and chronic is that chronic tends to recur, while acute occurs suddenly but can be quickly cured with timely treatment.Suggestions: For your condition, I recommend first focusing on rest, a light diet, and eating more vegetables and fruits. Start with medication, such as taking Ofloxacin tablets, Qingkailing granules, and consuming 100 grams of pumpkin seeds daily. Gradually, you will feel better. Your condition has a high likelihood of being cured, so it's important to seek treatment promptly.
