Patient's question:
Can acute prostatitis be cured?My husband has had this disease for a long time now, and seeing him in pain makes me feel very uncomfortable. Is it still possible to treat prostatitis if he has it? I am very worried about my husband's condition.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, acute prostatitis is caused by bacterial infection in the prostate. It is one of the most common and prevalent diseases among adult males, often spreading from bacterial infections in other parts of the body to the prostate.Guidelines:
First, rest in bed, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and abstain from sexual activity. Avoid sexual stimulation and arousal. At the same time, you can frequently soak or apply heat to the perineum and lower abdomen to relieve pain. In about 80% of cases of acute prostatitis, the causative pathogen is Escherichia coli. Gentamicin, cefixime, and levofloxacin can be selected. For severe cases, start with intravenous medication, then switch to oral medication for 4 weeks if the treatment is effective.
