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 I occasionally drink a bottle of red wine with chronic prostatitis?

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 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.

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 be cured?

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.
