Patient's question:
What is prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis primarily involves oral antibiotics, with sensitive drugs selected. The course of treatment lasts 4 to 6 weeks, during which patients should be evaluated for efficacy at stages. If the efficacy is unsatisfactory, other sensitive antibiotics can be used. Alpha-blockers can be selected to improve urinary symptoms and pain. Plant preparations, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, and M-receptor blockers can also alleviate related symptoms.Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis: Initially, oral antibiotics can be taken for 2 to 4 weeks, and then the decision to continue antibiotic treatment is based on efficacy feedback. Alpha-blockers are recommended to improve urinary symptoms and pain. Plant preparations, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, and M-receptor blockers can also be chosen to alleviate urinary symptoms and pain.
The main goal of treating chronic prostatitis is to relieve pain, improve urinary symptoms, and enhance quality of life. Efficacy evaluation should primarily focus on symptom improvement.
