Patient's question:
I've been feeling very uncomfortable lately, and it hurts when I urinate. There's red liquid coming out. The doctor said it's bacterial prostatitis. I'm taking medication now. How should bacterial prostatitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to medical advice, antibiotics are usually taken for 3-6 months, so it's important to be prepared for a long-term battle. Do not stop taking them midway or reduce the dosage, as this can easily lead to recurrence.Change your lifestyle: Avoid prolonged sitting, using the internet, or watching TV. Do not hold in your urine, drink more water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm, especially during autumn and winter. Avoid catching colds, use cold medicine containing diphenhydramine with caution, and do not wear tight jeans. Stay cheerful and maintain a moderate level of sexual activity.
