Patients with chronic prostatitis can eat beef, as it does not aggravate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis or affect its treatment. Patients with chronic prostatitis should mainly avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and should not hold in urine or sit for long periods. They should also avoid long durations of cycling, motorcycling, or horseback riding. In daily life, they should focus on a light and easily digestible diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of warm plain water.

Do you have to take medicine for chronic prostatitis for a lifetime?

Chronic prostatitis generally does not require lifelong medication. Although the course of chronic prostatitis is relatively long and treatment can be more challenging, requiring a longer treatment period, it usually does not necessitate medication for life. For patients with chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to collect prostatic fluid for examination to check for bacterial or other pathogenic microbial infections. If signs of infection are present, antibiotic treatment is required, which may last for an extended period. Patients can also complement their treatment with warm sitz baths and prostate massage. For those with severe pain symptoms, pain relief medications can be used symptomatically. Some patients may also experience anxiety symptoms, for which anti-anxiety medications can be appropriately used. Typically, treatment cycles for chronic prostatitis last about two months. If the condition improves, medication can be discontinued.

Physical therapy options can include warm sitz baths, prostate massage, microwave therapy, and shortwave therapy, with rectal medication administration as needed. In terms of daily care, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and control the frequency of sexual activity.

How should chronic prostatitis tinnitus be treated?

Chronic prostatitis with tinnitus primarily requires treatment targeting chronic prostatitis, which can be divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Treatment for chronic bacterial prostatitis generally involves using antibiotics to control the infection. For patients with chronic prostatitis, antibiotics that can penetrate the prostate capsule, such as erythromycin or doxycycline, are needed, and the treatment usually lasts for a relatively long time. Additionally, warm water sitz baths or prostate massage can be used to aid treatment. Patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, as there is no bacterial infection, may not need antibiotic treatment. However, if patients experience pain, analgesics can be used for symptomatic treatment. For patients with a longer duration of illness and anxiety, anxiety treatment is also necessary. Warm water sitz baths or prostate massage can also be used to aid treatment.

Why does chronic prostatitis cause discomfort in the lower abdomen?

Patients with chronic prostatitis, due to the invasion of bacteria within the prostate gland, lead to inflammatory infections in the glandular tissue, causing the patient to feel discomfort and bloating in the lower abdomen. They may also experience swelling and pain in the perineal and lower back areas. Additionally, symptoms include frequent urination, urgent urination, split stream urination, and dripping of white discharge at the opening of the urethra. These are common symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for proper examination and treatment as soon as possible.

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.
