Patient's question:
When drinking alcohol, eating spicy food, or feeling particularly tired, symptoms of chronic prostatitis may appear. I have taken many medications for chronic prostatitis, but they haven't been very effective. Feeling that there is no improvement, I stopped taking them. Up to now, it hasn't gotten better. How should I treat my current condition of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are multiple causes of prostatitis. For bacterial prostatitis, the main treatment is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapy, followed by symptomatic treatment tailored to different conditions. For non-bacterial prostatitis, physical and rehabilitation treatments are primarily used, with corresponding therapies adjusted based on the patient's specific circumstances. Recalcitrant prostatitis is a chronic form of prostatitis that is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence, requiring special treatment measures for effective management.
