Patients with chronic prostatitis should not drink red wine. Chronic prostatitis has a long course of disease, mainly characterized by frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. After urinating, a small amount of white secretion may drip out. Patients may also experience discomfort or pain in the pubic or perineal area. In some severe cases, there might be a decline in sexual function, manifesting as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Patients with chronic prostatitis generally need to use anti-inflammatory drugs that have a strong ability to penetrate the prostatic capsule, such as erythromycin and doxycycline. During the treatment period, patients should not drink alcohol, sit for long periods, or ride bicycles for an extended time. Treatment can also be complemented with sitz baths and prostate massage. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can chronic prostatitis eat beef?

Patients with chronic prostatitis can eat beef, as it does not aggravate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis or affect its treatment. Patients with chronic prostatitis should mainly avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and should not hold in urine or sit for long periods. They should also avoid long durations of cycling, motorcycling, or horseback riding. In daily life, they should focus on a light and easily digestible diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of warm plain water.

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.

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.

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.

Does chronic prostatitis fear fatigue?

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.
