The recovery time for young people with chronic prostatitis is not fixed, as each patient's condition is different, and so are the treatment plans, resulting in varying recovery times. Generally, recovery can occur within 1 to 2 months. Patients should first visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination. Treatment should be based on the results of this examination, using sensitive antibiotics. Treatment can also be supplemented with some traditional Chinese medicines. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every night and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.

Can chronic prostatitis be transmitted to the female partner during intercourse?

There are several types of chronic prostatitis, with nonbacterial prostatitis being the most common clinically. This type of prostatitis is not contagious during sexual activity, so there is no need for concern. However, chronic bacterial prostatitis can potentially be contagious, particularly when caused by Mycoplasma or Chlamydia infections. These pathogens can travel with semen into the female vagina, leading to vaginitis. Therefore, it is best for patients with prostatitis to undergo prostate fluid culture and sensitivity tests to determine the specific type, followed by targeted treatment.

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.

Can chronic prostatitis be detected by B-ultrasound?

Chronic prostatitis cannot be detected by ultrasound. Ultrasound can only observe the size of the prostate and whether there are nodules inside the prostate gland, but it cannot diagnose whether a patient has chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis must be diagnosed through routine examination of prostate fluid. Patients can visit the urology department of their local hospital for this examination. The first step involves prostate massage. Through this massage, prostate fluid is extracted from the external opening of the urethra, and then this fluid is tested in the laboratory for diagnosis.

It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to effectively improve the condition. It is also important to maintain hygiene, wash frequently, change clothes regularly, and prevent infections. Additionally, avoid staying up late, as it can worsen the condition.
