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 to deal with sexual dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis can cause sexual dysfunction in men, typically leading to premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and anejaculation. Initially, it is important to perform routine examinations of prostate fluid, culture the prostate fluid, and conduct sensitivity testing to antibiotics to clearly determine the type of prostatitis and initiate targeted treatment. If the prostatitis is bacterial, it is necessary to promptly use antibiotics for a regular treatment lasting four to six weeks. Once the inflammation is under control, sexual function will gradually recover. During the treatment period, patients should focus on strengthening physical exercise, boosting their immune system, and maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided. If necessary, medications that improve premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction can be used in conjunction with 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.

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.

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.
