What medicine to take for bacterial prostatitis

Bacterial prostatitis is one of the most common male diseases. It is a type of prostatitis. Although the harm of prostatitis is great, you don't need to worry too much about it. Find the cause of prostatitis and choose a reliable hospital for targeted treatment. Only in this way can you really prevent bacterial prostatitis. So, what medicine is good for bacterial prostatitis?

What medicine is good for bacterial prostatitis?

1. Antibiotics should be used appropriately

When using antibiotics for prostatitis caused by infection, it is not appropriate to focus only on drugs or expensive drugs. In fact, there is no shortage of good drugs among high-quality and low-priced drugs.

Chronic prostatitis should be treated with antibacterial drugs. You should first go to the hospital outpatient clinic to obtain prostatic fluid for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. First, to see if there is any pathogenic bacteria infection, what pathogen is causing the problem? Second, based on the results of the drug sensitivity test, use more sensitive antibiotics.

Due to the unique structure of male prostate tissue, many antibiotics cannot enter the male prostate acinus and cannot fully exert their antibacterial effect. Therefore, it is important to use antibiotics that can enter the male prostate tissue and achieve a high drug concentration in the tissue. For example: quinolones such as enoxacin and levofloxacin; tetracyclines such as meclocycline and doxycycline.

2. Mutual use of drugs is effective

Just using antibiotics, even for bacterial prostatitis, the effect of many patients is not very satisfactory. The reason is not due to poor antibacterial effect, but the bacteria are killed, but the inflammation of the male prostate has not disappeared significantly. Therefore, patients with non-infectious prostatitis do not need to use antibiotics, but need to use a variety of drugs for coordinated treatment of the various pathogenic factors of the disease.

What is prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common disease in urology. Among male urology patients, those under 50 years old account for the largest proportion. Prostatitis is divided into four categories and five types, namely, subacute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome (inflammatory and non-inflammatory), and asymptomatic prostatitis. Among them, non-bacterial prostatitis is far more common than bacterial prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis includes chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by pathogenic bacteria, mainly retrograde infection, and the main pathogen is Staphylococcus. There are often repeated urinary tract infection history or persistent presence of pathogens in prostatic fluid. Non-bacterial prostatitis is a complex clinical manifestation of inflammation, immunity, and neuroendocrine caused by a variety of complex causes and etiologies, resulting in urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical symptoms, and often combined with psychological symptoms, with a variety of clinical symptoms.

Subacute prostatitis is a common disease in adult men. It refers to an inflammatory reaction caused by non-specific bacterial infection of the male prostate. The specific manifestations are inability to hold urine, frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, pain in the duodenum and perineum, and often chills and fever.

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a disease that frustrates doctors and confuses patients. In the past 10 years, patients diagnosed with prostatitis previously had clinical symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the lumbar sacral region, vulva, lower abdomen, and testicular pain and discomfort, which had no significant direct correlation with prostate anatomy. Therefore, in 1995, the National University Health Research Institute in the United Kingdom believed that it was more accurate to diagnose such patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
