Patient's question:
What is good to eat for chronic prostatitis? I don't want to go to the hospital because it's too expensive. I also often eat spicy food. I used to have chronic prostatitis, and it has been a year since it got better, but now I'm experiencing pain when urinating and discomfort in my testicles. Can I buy medicine for treating chronic prostatitis at a pharmacy? How should I deal with this?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of prostatitis, the main approach is medication, primarily antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, cotrimoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as avoiding spicy foods. A healthy and regular sexual life, weekly prostate massages, physical therapy, and warm sitz baths can promote absorption, improve blood circulation, and alleviate symptoms. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid foods, smoking, and drinking alcohol; maintain warmth; avoid strenuous activities and prolonged sitting; and urinate promptly to avoid holding urine.
