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.

Which part is massaged for chronic prostatitis?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
