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.)

Does chronic prostatitis require regular ejaculation?

Patients with chronic prostatitis need to ejaculate regularly, as regular ejaculation helps to clear the prostate ducts and expel inflammatory exudates secreted by the prostate through semen, which positively affects the treatment of prostatitis. However, sexual activity should not be too frequent. If it is too frequent, it may cause congestion and edema of the prostate, exacerbating the inflammation. Therefore, it is advisable to ejaculate once every 3 to 5 days. Besides regular ejaculation, it is also important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and strengthen physical exercise appropriately.

Can one have sexual intercourse while taking medication for chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis can still engage in sexual activities while on medication. Appropriate sexual activity can be beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, helping to improve discomfort symptoms. However, sexual activities should not be too frequent. Excessive sexual activity or frequent masturbation can lead to excessive congestion of the prostate gland, worsening the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients should maintain a regular and moderate sexual life during the medication period.

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.

Can I drink strong tea during chronic prostatitis?

Patients with chronic prostatitis should avoid drinking strong tea during treatment. They should primarily drink warm boiled water, increase their water intake, urinate frequently, and eat a light, easily digestible diet without consuming spicy or irritating foods. Patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination, including bacterial culture of prostate fluid and drug sensitivity tests. Treatment should be based on the results, choosing antibiotics that are effective against the identified pathogen.

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.
