Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but as time went on, I started to feel something was off because the discomfort became more severe. After checking into the hospital, I found out that I had prostatitis. What are the effective methods for treating male prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis mostly occurs in young and middle-aged adults. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical practice, and patients should receive general treatments such as bed rest, increased fluid intake, and bowel regulation. For patients with severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesics and spasmolytics, as well as hot Sitz baths, can be administered to alleviate symptoms. Antibiotics that can be selected include penicillin, ampicillin, cephalosporins, and Cefixime.Treatment for chronic prostatitis includes general treatment, prostate massage, drug irrigation, peri-prostatic tissue closure, and the combined use of antibiotics.
