Is chronic prostatitis a lifelong disease?

Chronic prostatitis is not a lifelong disease; it can be cured with proper examination and treatment. Patients with chronic prostatitis should not be overly burdened mentally and should actively visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for systematic examination. Initially, a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid should be conducted, along with a drug sensitivity test. By performing prostate massage, prostatic fluid is obtained from the urethral meatus onto a slide, which is then sent for laboratory testing. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics it is sensitive to are identified, and then the appropriate sensitive antibiotics are selected for the treatment.

What is the best treatment for prostatitis?

The treatment of prostatitis requires following the treatment plan and course prescribed by the diagnosing doctor, taking medications on time and in the correct dosage. Generally, it is necessary to first conduct a bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test on the prostatic fluid. Based on the results, the pathogenic bacteria and sensitive antibiotics are identified, and then sensitive antibiotics are selected for oral treatment. At the same time, patients should adopt a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating food, avoid alcohol, avoid prolonged sitting, and avoid holding in urine. A warm water sitz bath can be taken daily.

How to check for kidney stones?

For kidney stone examination, it is necessary to conduct an ultrasonography of the urinary system. Patients can go to the urology department of their local hospital for a formal examination. The ultrasound of the urinary system primarily looks at the size of the kidney stones and whether there is any water accumulation in the kidneys. Based on the results of the examination, an appropriate treatment plan can be formulated. For example, smaller kidney stones can be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, while larger kidney stones may require minimally invasive surgery.

Postoperative care for minimally invasive bladder stone surgery

Minimally invasive surgery for bladder stones primarily involves performing a holmium laser lithotripsy through a ureteroscope via the urethra. During the procedure, some of the fragmented stones are flushed out of the body. After the surgery, a urinary catheter is installed to assist with urination. On the first day after surgery, patients are not allowed to eat due to the effects of anesthesia. On the second day, patients can consume a light liquid diet. In terms of care, it is important to monitor whether the urinary catheter is clear and unobstructed.

Cystitis belongs to which department?

Cystitis is a common urinary system disease. Patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and discomfort due to swelling and pain in the lower abdomen and perineum. In such cases, patients can visit the urology department of their local hospital for examination and treatment. Initially, routine urine tests and urinary system ultrasound can be performed to determine whether the patient has cystitis. If necessary, a cystoscopy may also be needed. Once diagnosed, treatment can be administered orally or via intravenous antibiotics.

Can one have sexual intercourse while taking medication for chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis can still engage in sexual activities while on medication. Appropriate sexual activity can be beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, helping to improve discomfort symptoms. However, sexual activities should not be too frequent. Excessive sexual activity or frequent masturbation can lead to excessive congestion of the prostate gland, worsening the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients should maintain a regular and moderate sexual life during the medication period.

Is chronic prostatitis an incurable disease?

Chronic prostatitis is not an incurable disease; it is a common urological disorder. Chronic prostatitis is most commonly seen in young and middle-aged men, primarily due to bacterial invasion in the prostate gland, leading to inflammation and infection within the gland. Patients with chronic prostatitis should not be overly burdened mentally. It is advisable to actively visit the local hospital's urology or andrology department for systematic examination. Treatment should be based on the examination results, using sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, taking warm water sitz baths every night and regularly visiting the hospital for prostate massage therapy can be beneficial.

Are bladder stones easy to pass?

Patients with bladder stones, if the stones are less than 0.5 cm in size, can promote the natural expulsion of the stones by drinking more water and urinating frequently. If the stones are larger, over 0.5 cm in size, treatment may require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery. For patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, generally, if the stones are between 0.5-1.5 cm in size, this treatment can be performed. After the treatment, it is also necessary to drink more water and urinate frequently to facilitate the expulsion of the stones. For larger stones, over 1.5 cm, surgical treatment is required.

Can chronic prostatitis be detected by B-ultrasound?

Chronic prostatitis cannot be detected by ultrasound. Ultrasound can only observe the size of the prostate and whether there are nodules inside the prostate gland, but it cannot diagnose whether a patient has chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis must be diagnosed through routine examination of prostate fluid. Patients can visit the urology department of their local hospital for this examination. The first step involves prostate massage. Through this massage, prostate fluid is extracted from the external opening of the urethra, and then this fluid is tested in the laboratory for diagnosis.

Which part is massaged for chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis can be effectively helped by massaging the prostate gland. Patients with chronic prostatitis should regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages, which must be performed by professional medical personnel. The procedure involves the doctor inserting their index finger into the patient's anus to reach and massage the prostate gland through compression movements, thus completing the prostate massage.
