What are the specific medicines for treating prostatitis?

The main reason why many men suffer from prostatitis is long-term bad living habits. For example, many men are particularly lazy and like to sit for a long time. They rarely go out for exercise and often smoke and drink a lot. These bad habits are the culprits of prostatitis, so patients need to correct these bad habits. So is there any specific medicine to treat prostatitis?

What medicine should I take for acute prostatitis?

Acute bacterial prostatitis is easy to diagnose and treat, and has a good prognosis. Most patients can recover completely, but a few patients may develop chronic disease. Acute bacterial prostatitis should be treated with fast-acting antibacterial drugs, such as cotrimoxazole and fentanyl, which can quickly control inflammation. The medication should be continued for a period of time to prevent the disease from becoming chronic or recurring.

When using antibiotics for prostatitis, you should choose antibiotics that are fat-soluble, easily pass through the prostate barrier, and have a low plasma protein binding rate. You can choose first-line drugs such as quinolones (such as norfloxacin, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, etc.), sulfonamides (such as co-trimoxazole), and tetracyclines (such as tetracycline, meclocycline).

What medicine should I take for chronic prostatitis?

For chronic bacterial prostatitis, sensitive antibiotics such as cefotaxime and meclocycline can be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. For chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, if it can be clearly confirmed to be chlamydia and/or mycoplasma infection, erythromycin, meclocycline, basa, etc. can be selected. If there is no chlamydia, mycoplasma or other clear pathogen infection, the antibiotics will not work well after application and should not be used.

The medication should be taken for a certain period of time, generally 1 to 4 months, and up to 6 months. Discontinuation of the medication is prone to relapse. After relapse, it is generally recommended to use another course of antibiotics.

Precautions for drug treatment of prostatitis

It is worth noting that antibiotics are not a panacea for treating bacterial prostatitis. Patients should not abuse antibiotics without restraint, otherwise, not only will the antibiotics lose their effectiveness, but it will also make subsequent treatment difficult.
