Can prostatitis be cured?

Prostatitis is a common male disease. There are many treatments for prostatitis. If the inflammation is more obvious, you can get an anti-inflammatory injection. Antibacterial treatment is a common treatment method. You can use quinolone drugs, such as ofloxacin or levofloxacin. Of course, you must follow the doctor's instructions on medication and cannot take medication on your own. In addition, due to the particularity of the prostate, in addition to medication, daily health care is also very important.

Do not stop taking medication on your own when treating prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common disease in men, and most patients are young men. Prostatitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disease, and it usually takes a long time to cure. However, some patients stop taking medication after a period of treatment, and then the symptoms of prostatitis return again soon. Therefore, it is best not to stop when you see improvement in the treatment of prostatitis.

The prostate gland is relatively hidden, deep in the male pelvic cavity, with three layers of tough capsules on the outside, and very weak blood circulation. It is difficult for general antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs to penetrate the capsule and enter the gland, and they cannot kill bacteria. In addition, it is difficult for drugs to fully penetrate, and the killed inflammatory cells cannot be flushed out of the body through the poor blood circulation, often forming "waste" accumulation. Therefore, chronic prostatitis is usually difficult to cure.

Since the symptoms of prostatitis are diverse and not proportional to the severity of inflammation, some patients with prostatitis stop taking medication after a period of treatment because they feel no obvious discomfort. However, the symptoms of prostatitis return soon after. This is because the patient stops taking medication too early without actually curing the prostatitis. Pathogens and bacterial residues are the main causes of recurrence.

Many patients lack scientific and correct knowledge about prostatitis, which is also an important reason why it is difficult to cure.

1. Patients with prostatitis should not seek medical treatment blindly, choose small clinics for treatment, abuse antibiotics or use treatments with serious side effects, and lack scientific and comprehensive treatments. As a result, they often misdiagnose the condition and cause prostatitis to persist.

2. Many patients are under too much psychological pressure and think that prostatitis is an "incurable disease" and that it is a loss of male dignity. As a result, symptoms worsen and even cause sexual dysfunction.

3. Prostatitis treatment should never be stopped when the condition improves. If the patient does not persist in the treatment, the prostatitis treatment will not be thorough. Once the patient's immunity decreases, prostatitis will "come back".

In short, if a male friend finds prostatitis, he must actively treat it and not be afraid to see a doctor. Experts suggest that chronic prostatitis is a relatively complex and difficult disease to treat. It usually takes 1-3 months of treatment, sometimes even longer, and after the treatment effect appears, it is necessary to continue the treatment for a period of time to consolidate it, so that prostatitis can be completely cured.
