Patient's question:
How is prostatitis treated?Doctor's answer:
In treatment, once a clinical diagnosis or blood and urine culture results are obtained, antibiotics should be administered first. Initially, antibiotics are given intravenously, and once the patient's fever and other symptoms improve, oral medications can be used. For acute bacterial prostatitis with urinary retention, suprapubic bladder puncture and drainage or fine catheterization can be employed. If an abscess forms, options include transrectal ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration drainage, transurethral incision for prostatic abscess drainage, or perineal puncture drainage. Additionally, patients should abstain from alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods; avoid holding urine, prolonged sitting, and pay attention to keeping warm while increasing physical exercise. As long as medication and care are combined, prostatitis will improve quickly.
