Patient's question:
Prostatitis, white blood cells 3+ have taken a variety of antibiotics but the condition hasn't improved, frequent urinationDoctor's answer:
1. Over 96% of chronic prostatitis cases are non-bacterial and are related to prostatic congestion and pelvic floor muscle spasms. Antibiotics are generally not recommended for treatment.2. The routine examination of prostatic fluid lacks objectivity and is only used as a reference during initial diagnosis. It is no longer used for diagnosis or evaluating treatment efficacy. The main basis for diagnosis is clinical manifestations, symptoms, and improvements in quality of life. The principle of treating prostatitis is primarily to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Focusing excessively on laboratory test results of prostatic fluid is highly incorrect and misleading.
3. There is no such thing as "severe" or "mild" prostatitis, as it is merely a condition that affects quality of life and does not cause substantial harm to your health.
4. It is recommended to adjust your mindset, change your lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, drink more water, and abstain from alcohol.
5. Treatment must adhere to the principle of "regular hospitals and regular treatment."
6. It is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine urology department at a large public general hospital if necessary, and consider using traditional Chinese medicine for regulation for a period of time to see the effects.
