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 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.)

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.

Does chronic prostatitis fear fatigue?

Patients with chronic prostatitis should not be overly fatigued and must rest sufficiently in their daily lives. They should avoid vigorous exercise and heavy physical labor. Those with chronic prostatitis should go to the local hospital's urology or andrology department to receive formal inspections and treatments. Prostatic fluid bacterial cultures along with antibiotic sensitivity tests should be conducted. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics to which it is most sensitive can be identified. Then, the sensitive antibiotics should be chosen for treatment. Additionally, patients can take a warm water sitz bath every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages, which can significantly aid in the treatment.
