What are the treatments for chronic prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common disease of the male reproductive and urinary system. It mainly affects men under 50 years old. There are four types of prostatitis: acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, chronic non-bacterial and prostate pain. Chronic prostatitis has the highest incidence rate, accounting for about 30% of male patients. But what are the treatments for chronic prostatitis?

For infectious prostatitis, you can also take Chinese and Western medicines to eliminate inflammation. In addition, you can also use physical therapies such as magnetic therapy and hydrotherapy, or inject drugs into the vas deferens, urethral flushing, and other treatments. However, all of these need to be decided by a doctor. Patients should actively cooperate with doctors during the treatment of chronic prostatitis and should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Pay attention to hygiene, overcome bad sexual habits, and exercise appropriate moderation in sexual intercourse.

(2) Try to reduce local pressure on the perineum, such as not wearing tight pants and not riding a bicycle for too long.

(3) Quit smoking and drinking and avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, beef, seafood, and alcohol. (4) Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to facilitate the discharge of inflammatory secretions.

(5) Actively participate in physical exercise to improve physical fitness.

(6) Control your sexual life to no more than once a week.

(7) Patients with chronic prostatitis who have already had children can take a sitz bath in 46-degree hot water 1-2 times a week for 30 minutes each time. This will help relieve the inflammation. Patients with chronic prostatitis who have not had children should not use this method to avoid affecting their fertility.

(8) Have a good attitude. Attitude is very important. Don’t be depressed, be optimistic. Actively cooperate with the doctor and accept systematic treatment.

Prostatitis is an embarrassing disease. Many male friends have strong self-esteem and do not accept to go to the hospital for treatment, so they will delay the best treatment period. This is unreasonable. If you are sick, you must go to the hospital for treatment. Many men are under great pressure, which will produce irritable moods. Moods will affect the development of the disease, so you must be determined to recover.
