Patients with chronic prostatitis cannot effectively treat the condition solely through moxibustion. While it may help alleviate some symptoms of chronic prostatitis, treatment primarily requires timely medication to achieve a cure. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to effectively improve the condition. It is also important to maintain hygiene, wash frequently, change clothes regularly, and prevent infections. Additionally, avoid staying up late, as it can worsen the condition.

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.

Applying heat to the abdomen for chronic prostatitis has what effect?

The primary function of applying heat to the abdomen for patients with chronic prostatitis is that it can accelerate the circulation of blood around the prostate. This facilitates the absorption of inflammatory substances in the prostate and accelerates blood circulation, which is beneficial for the recovery of the condition. The main symptoms of chronic prostatitis are frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Additionally, a small amount of white discharge may flow from the urethral opening after urinating. Due to the lengthy course of chronic prostatitis, treatment can be relatively difficult. In clinical settings, if chronic prostatitis patients have a bacterial infection, antibiotics are generally required. For prostatitis caused by non-bacterial factors, antibiotics are typically not necessary. During treatment, patients can also use a hot towel on the abdomen, take warm sitz baths, or receive prostate massages. These auxiliary methods have a certain therapeutic effect on the recovery of the condition. During treatment, the diet should be light, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, and alcohol consumption should be avoided.
