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.

Does chronic prostatitis require regular ejaculation?

Patients with chronic prostatitis need to ejaculate regularly, as regular ejaculation helps to clear the prostate ducts and expel inflammatory exudates secreted by the prostate through semen, which positively affects the treatment of prostatitis. However, sexual activity should not be too frequent. If it is too frequent, it may cause congestion and edema of the prostate, exacerbating the inflammation. Therefore, it is advisable to ejaculate once every 3 to 5 days. Besides regular ejaculation, it is also important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and strengthen physical exercise appropriately.

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.

Is chronic prostatitis secondary infection easy to treat?

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.
