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.

Why does chronic prostatitis cause discomfort in the lower abdomen?

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.

Why does ejaculation hurt with chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis experiencing painful ejaculation mainly results from the presence of the ejaculatory ducts within the prostate. When the prostate is inflamed, it leads to congestion and swelling, which compresses the ejaculatory ducts causing them to narrow. During ejaculation, due to the high pressure of ejaculation, semen passes through these narrowed ducts producing a significant pain sensation. For this condition, active treatment targeting the type of chronic prostatitis is necessary. If it is caused by bacterial infection, prompt antibiotic treatment should be administered regularly. After controlling the inflammation, the congestion and swelling of the prostate will gradually subside, and the symptoms of painful ejaculation will also alleviate. Patients with chronic prostatitis should pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, maintaining a light diet, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity to reduce prostate congestion and swelling.

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.

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.

What symptoms can chronic prostatitis exhibit?

The most common symptoms of chronic prostatitis are frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Patients will urinate frequently, and experience a stinging or burning sensation in the urethra during urination. Additionally, after urinating, a small amount of white discharge, primarily inflammatory secretions from the prostate, may drip from the urethral opening. Chronic prostatitis may also manifest as discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or perineum. Some patients may experience sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or frequent nocturnal emissions. Pain and discomfort may also occur during ejaculation. For patients with chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to collect prostatic fluid for examination to observe an increase in white blood cells. Prostatic fluid can also be cultured and sensitivity testing can be done to select appropriate antibiotics for treatment.
