Patients with chronic prostatitis, due to the invasion of bacteria within the prostate gland, lead to inflammatory infections in the glandular tissue, causing the patient to feel discomfort and bloating in the lower abdomen. They may also experience swelling and pain in the perineal and lower back areas. Additionally, symptoms include frequent urination, urgent urination, split stream urination, and dripping of white discharge at the opening of the urethra. These are common symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for proper examination and treatment as soon as possible.

How to treat chronic prostatitis with anal distension and pain?

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.

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.

How to treat testicular pain caused by chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis may cause testicular pain, possibly due to the inflammation spreading from the prostate gland to the testicles, resulting in testicular inflammation. Patients should undergo a color ultrasound examination under the guidance of a doctor to observe the condition of the testicles. After confirmation, treatment can include oral or intravenous administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Additionally, patients should rest in bed, minimize activity, and support the scrotum with soft clothing, which can help reduce testicular swelling and alleviate pain.

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.
