Patient's question:
My husband feels like he can't urinate enough and goes to the toilet every day. It also hurts, and he lacks energy in sexual matters. His temper has become very irritable, and he often argues with me. Is my husband's current condition a sign of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is a common disease in men, most of which occurs in young and middle-aged adults. Clinically, prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical practice, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate among adults.Suggestions:
Treatment for acute prostatitis: Patients should rest in bed, drink more water, and follow general treatments such as bowel movements. For severe bladder irritation symptoms, analgesics and spasmolytics can be given, along with hot sitz baths to relieve symptoms. Antibiotics that can be selected include penicillin, ampicillin, (cephalexin), and Cefixime.
Treatment for chronic prostatitis: This includes general treatment, prostate massage, drug irrigation, peri-prostatic tissue closure, and the combined use of antibiotics. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be combined.
