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.

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.

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.

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 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.

How much water should be drunk daily for chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis need to drink plenty of water. It is best to maintain a daily water intake of more than 1500 milliliters, preferably drinking warm boiled water. Patients with chronic prostatitis should adhere to a light, easily digestible diet in their daily lives, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from alcohol. Chronic prostatitis requires the cultivation of prostatic fluid bacteria, combined with the results of drug sensitivity tests, to select sensitive antibiotics for treatment. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages, which can greatly aid in treatment.
