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 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.

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.

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.
