How long does it take for acute prostatitis to turn into chronic

Prostatitis is a common male andrological infection, and is divided into subacute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Subacute prostatitis can be quickly controlled because of its sudden onset and obvious symptoms, while chronic prostatitis is easily ignored by patients because of its less severe symptoms. In fact, chronic prostatitis is more harmful to the human body. If chronic prostatitis is not treated well, it will not only cause other genitourinary system symptoms, but also cause urinary system inflammation symptoms that affect men's fertility.

1. Generally speaking, chronic prostatitis is caused by incomplete treatment of subacute prostatitis. So how to prevent subacute prostatitis from turning into chronic prostatitis? First of all, subacute prostatitis should be completely treated to prevent recurrence of the disease.

2. Patients with subacute prostatitis should not only take medicine on time during the treatment period, but also actively adjust their life routine and diet structure. Even after the symptoms subside, it is best to take one or two more doses of medicine to promote the treatment effect. This can effectively prevent subacute prostatitis from becoming chronic.

3. In addition, patients with acute prostatitis should pay attention to preventive measures even after recovery. They should not eat too much spicy food, control their alcohol and smoking, pay attention to sexual environment hygiene, and control their sexual life. In this way, they can effectively prevent the onset of chronic prostatitis.

How long does it take for subacute prostatitis to become chronic?

In clinical medicine, subacute prostatitis is mainly an inflammatory reaction caused by infection with specific pathogens, including swelling, pain, pus, and even cysts. Patients should immediately start anti-infective drug treatment. If the condition becomes difficult to cure for more than 3 days during the entire treatment process, it will turn into a full inflammatory process. Therefore, patients should start timely and effective anti-infective drug treatment within 3 months. For common pathogens, they can be effectively eliminated through antibiotic treatment. However, some special types of pathogens require drug sensitivity tests, and the selection of more sensitive antibiotics will have a good practical effect. If the inflammatory reaction turns into inflammation, the treatment cycle of this condition is longer. At the same time, patients will experience more discomfort symptoms, so they should maintain an optimistic attitude throughout the treatment process. When male prostate symptoms occur, especially prostatitis, the treatment cycle is relatively long, and it may take 3-6 months to see results. Patients should adjust their mentality and continue to carry out reasonable treatment.
