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.

Do mild symptoms of chronic prostatitis need attention?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who only experience mild urinary frequency and incomplete urination do not need special treatment and can avoid using medication. However, they should pay attention to enhancing lifestyle care, maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating food, quitting smoking and alcohol, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity. If these lifestyle care measures are not adhered to, symptoms may worsen, leading to noticeable urinary frequency, urgency, pain during urination, and pelvic pain. If the condition deteriorates further, medication will be required, such as drugs to improve discomfort during urination and antibiotics to alleviate the condition.

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.

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.

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.)
