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.

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.

Prostatic fluid bacterial cultures along with antibiotic sensitivity tests should be conducted. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics to which it is most sensitive can be identified.

Can chronic prostatitis be cured?

Chronic prostatitis is curable and is mainly divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic abacterial prostatitis. For patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, it is necessary to culture prostatic fluid and perform an antibiotic sensitivity test to identify the pathogen. Then, based on the test results, appropriate sensitive antibiotics are chosen for treatment lasting four to six weeks. On the other hand, abacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by poor lifestyle habits. For this type of prostatitis, it is important to strengthen daily care, pay attention to a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid sitting for long periods, holding urine, long drives, staying up late, and overly frequent sexual activity. Developing good lifestyle habits will gradually lead to recovery.
