Patients with chronic prostatitis who develop secondary infections need to clearly identify the pathogenic bacteria and the corresponding sensitive drugs to facilitate treatment. This can be determined through culturing the prostatic fluid and conducting sensitivity tests. Once the pathogenic bacteria and their sensitive drugs are identified, targeted and rational treatment can generally be more effectively managed. For chronic prostatitis patients, it is crucial to maintain a regular medication schedule and enhance lifestyle care, including eating a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and regulating the frequency of sexual activity.

Can chronic prostatitis be treated with surgery if it does not heal over a long time?

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.

Which part is massaged for chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis can be effectively helped by massaging the prostate gland. Patients with chronic prostatitis should regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages, which must be performed by professional medical personnel. The procedure involves the doctor inserting their index finger into the patient's anus to reach and massage the prostate gland through compression movements, thus completing the prostate massage.

Do mild symptoms of chronic prostatitis need attention?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who only experience mild urinary frequency and incomplete urination do not need special treatment and can avoid using medication. However, they should pay attention to enhancing lifestyle care, maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating food, quitting smoking and alcohol, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity. If these lifestyle care measures are not adhered to, symptoms may worsen, leading to noticeable urinary frequency, urgency, pain during urination, and pelvic pain. If the condition deteriorates further, medication will be required, such as drugs to improve discomfort during urination and antibiotics to alleviate the condition.

Is chronic prostatitis an incurable disease?

Chronic prostatitis is not an incurable disease; it is a common urological disorder. 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. Additionally, taking warm water sitz baths every night and regularly visiting the hospital for prostate massage therapy can be beneficial.

How should chronic prostatitis tinnitus be treated?

Chronic prostatitis with tinnitus primarily requires treatment targeting chronic prostatitis, which can be divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Treatment for chronic bacterial prostatitis generally involves using antibiotics to control the infection. For patients with chronic prostatitis, antibiotics that can penetrate the prostate capsule, such as erythromycin or doxycycline, are needed, and the treatment usually lasts for a relatively long time. Additionally, warm water sitz baths or prostate massage can be used to aid treatment. Patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, as there is no bacterial infection, may not need antibiotic treatment. However, if patients experience pain, analgesics can be used for symptomatic treatment. For patients with a longer duration of illness and anxiety, anxiety treatment is also necessary. Warm water sitz baths or prostate massage can also be used to aid treatment.
