Patient's question:
Had a frequent habit of masturbation in youth. Around the age of 20, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, which has not been cured until now. I experience pain in the prostate, groin, and testicles, as well as general fatigue and lack of energy. Is surgical treatment used for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves medication, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy foods, maintain a healthy and regular sexual life, undergo weekly prostate massages, physical therapy, and warm sitz baths. These measures can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
