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.

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.

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.

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.

Why does ejaculation hurt with chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis experiencing painful ejaculation mainly results from the presence of the ejaculatory ducts within the prostate. When the prostate is inflamed, it leads to congestion and swelling, which compresses the ejaculatory ducts causing them to narrow. During ejaculation, due to the high pressure of ejaculation, semen passes through these narrowed ducts producing a significant pain sensation. For this condition, active treatment targeting the type of chronic prostatitis is necessary. If it is caused by bacterial infection, prompt antibiotic treatment should be administered regularly. After controlling the inflammation, the congestion and swelling of the prostate will gradually subside, and the symptoms of painful ejaculation will also alleviate. Patients with chronic prostatitis should pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, maintaining a light diet, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity to reduce prostate congestion and swelling.

There is discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, and lower back area. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should not drink alcohol as it worsens the symptoms of prostatitis, causing excessive congestion of the prostate and affecting treatment. In daily life, patients with chronic prostatitis should drink more water, particularly warm boiled water, urinate frequently, and eat a light and easily digestible diet. They should avoid spicy and irritating foods.
