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.

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.

Can chronic prostatitis of twenty years be surgically removed?

Chronic prostatitis, which has lasted for twenty years, cannot be removed through surgery. Generally, prostatitis is treated with medication and surgery is not an option. Patients with chronic prostatitis can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination and treatment. The initial step is to conduct a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection is identified, and the antibiotics to which this pathogen is sensitive are determined. Then, treatment proceeds with these sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.

Do you have to take medicine for chronic prostatitis for a lifetime?

Chronic prostatitis generally does not require lifelong medication. Although the course of chronic prostatitis is relatively long and treatment can be more challenging, requiring a longer treatment period, it usually does not necessitate medication for life. For patients with chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to collect prostatic fluid for examination to check for bacterial or other pathogenic microbial infections. If signs of infection are present, antibiotic treatment is required, which may last for an extended period. Patients can also complement their treatment with warm sitz baths and prostate massage. For those with severe pain symptoms, pain relief medications can be used symptomatically. Some patients may also experience anxiety symptoms, for which anti-anxiety medications can be appropriately used. Typically, treatment cycles for chronic prostatitis last about two months. If the condition improves, medication can be discontinued.

Can chronic prostatitis lead to weak ejaculation?

Patients with chronic prostatitis, if left untreated for a long time, may experience weak ejaculation and a series of sexual dysfunctions, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should seek timely systemic examination and treatment at local hospitals' urology or andrology departments. Prostatic fluid bacterial culture along with drug sensitivity tests should be conducted. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics it is sensitive to should be identified. Then, the selected sensitive antibiotics should be used for treatment. Patients must adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor, take medications on time and in the correct amounts, and regularly return to the hospital for follow-up evaluations.

How to treat chronic prostatitis with anal distension and pain?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who experience anal heaviness and pain can, under the guidance of a doctor during a face-to-face consultation, use some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the heaviness and pain. They can also use some anti-inflammatory and analgesic suppositories, inserted into the anus, to alleviate these symptoms. Additionally, patients can take a warm water sitz bath daily, sitting in a basin of warm clean water, which can promote blood circulation within the prostate gland and greatly help improve symptoms of anal heaviness and pain.
