Patients with chronic prostatitis can still engage in sexual activities while on medication. Appropriate sexual activity can be beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, helping to improve discomfort symptoms. However, sexual activities should not be too frequent. Excessive sexual activity or frequent masturbation can lead to excessive congestion of the prostate gland, worsening the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients should maintain a regular and moderate sexual life during the medication period.

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.

Methods to alleviate these symptoms mainly involve medication, physical therapy, and enhanced daily care. In terms of medication, it is usually necessary to use a combination of antibiotics and drugs that alleviate uncomfortable urination. Physical therapy options can include warm sitz baths, prostate massage, microwave therapy, and shortwave therapy, with rectal medication administration as needed. In terms of daily care, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and control the frequency of sexual activity.

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.

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.
