Patient's question:
Hello, I had prostatitis a few years ago and didn't follow up. Recently, I've been feeling constantly exhausted and don't know if I can continue taking medication or what kind of medication to take.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is caused by pathogenic infections, with the main pathogens being Staphylococcus species, followed by Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium species, Enterococcus species, and others. Clinical manifestations include frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, a burning sensation during urination, difficulty urinating, and urinary retention.Recommended oral medications: Levofloxacin tablets and Naftopidil. These are very effective in relieving symptoms, with a treatment course of 4–6 weeks. Moderate exercise, such as walking or jogging, through the movement of abdominal, perineal, and gluteal muscles, can promote local blood and lymphatic circulation in the prostate, aiding in the resolution and absorption of local inflammation. Ensure adequate sleep. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and spicy foods. Consume foods high in zinc, such as sesame, peanuts, and apples. Avoid holding urine and prolonged sitting.
