Chronic prostatitis cannot be cured by surgery. Chronic prostatitis is treated with medication, not requiring any surgery. Patients can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for systematic examination and treatment. First, a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid should be conducted, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection and the antibiotics to which it is most sensitive can be identified, and then the sensitive antibiotics can be chosen for treatment. Patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massage.

Applying heat to the abdomen for chronic prostatitis has what effect?

The primary function of applying heat to the abdomen for patients with chronic prostatitis is that it can accelerate the circulation of blood around the prostate. This facilitates the absorption of inflammatory substances in the prostate and accelerates blood circulation, which is beneficial for the recovery of the condition. The main symptoms of chronic prostatitis are frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Additionally, a small amount of white discharge may flow from the urethral opening after urinating. Due to the lengthy course of chronic prostatitis, treatment can be relatively difficult. In clinical settings, if chronic prostatitis patients have a bacterial infection, antibiotics are generally required. For prostatitis caused by non-bacterial factors, antibiotics are typically not necessary. During treatment, patients can also use a hot towel on the abdomen, take warm sitz baths, or receive prostate massages. These auxiliary methods have a certain therapeutic effect on the recovery of the condition. During treatment, the diet should be light, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, and alcohol consumption should be avoided.

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.

What happens if you drink alcohol occasionally with chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who drink alcohol will aggravate their symptoms, leading to frequent urination, urgent urination, split urination, and dripping white fluid at the urinary opening. 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.
