Patient's question:
I felt particularly uncomfortable a few weeks ago, with severe stomach pain. Then I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it was related to the prostate. I took medication for a week and felt better, but now I'm feeling uncomfortable again. I have no energy to do anything and feel extremely frustrated.What kind of help do I need: What medication should I take for prostatitis and lower abdominal pain?
Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis includes two parts: chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Among them, chronic bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by pathogen transmission, based on retrograde transmission, with staphylococcus being the main pathogen. It often has a history of recurrent urinary tract infections or persistent pathogenic bacteria in prostatic massage fluid. Non-bacterial prostatitis is a complex inflammatory, autoimmune, and neuroendocrine pathological change caused by various different reasons and triggers, leading to clinical manifestations primarily characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. It is also often associated with mental and psychological symptoms, presenting with diverse clinical manifestations. At the same time, dietary restrictions include avoiding spicy foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking plenty of water, preventing prolonged sitting, overtime work, overexertion, long-distance cycling or driving, avoiding excessive sexual activity, maintaining regular sexual habits, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise, etc.
