Patients with chronic prostatitis, if left untreated for a long time, may experience weak ejaculation and a series of sexual dysfunctions, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should seek timely systemic examination and treatment at local hospitals' urology or andrology departments. Prostatic fluid bacterial culture along with drug sensitivity tests should be conducted. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics it is sensitive to should be identified. Then, the selected sensitive antibiotics should be used for treatment. Patients must adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor, take medications on time and in the correct amounts, and regularly return to the hospital for follow-up evaluations.

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.

Can chronic prostatitis be transmitted to the female partner during intercourse?

There are several types of chronic prostatitis, with nonbacterial prostatitis being the most common clinically. This type of prostatitis is not contagious during sexual activity, so there is no need for concern. However, chronic bacterial prostatitis can potentially be contagious, particularly when caused by Mycoplasma or Chlamydia infections. These pathogens can travel with semen into the female vagina, leading to vaginitis. Therefore, it is best for patients with prostatitis to undergo prostate fluid culture and sensitivity tests to determine the specific type, followed by targeted treatment.

Which area is best for moxibustion for chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis cannot effectively treat the condition solely through moxibustion. While it may help alleviate some symptoms of chronic prostatitis, treatment primarily requires timely medication to achieve a cure. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to effectively improve the condition. It is also important to maintain hygiene, wash frequently, change clothes regularly, and prevent infections. Additionally, avoid staying up late, as it can worsen the condition.

Patients with chronic prostatitis should not be overly fatigued and must rest sufficiently in their daily lives. They should avoid vigorous exercise and heavy physical labor. Those with chronic prostatitis should go to the local hospital's urology or andrology department to receive formal inspections and treatments. 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. Then, the sensitive antibiotics should be chosen for treatment. Additionally, patients can take a warm water sitz bath every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages, which can significantly aid in the treatment.
