Prostatitis Treatment

The prostate gland is an important part of the male reproductive system, but it is often neglected by men. Prostatitis is a common male disease, and its treatment is not complicated, but many patients do not pay enough attention to it. The course of treatment for prostatitis depends on the patient's condition and the treatment method chosen. Different treatment methods also require different treatment times.

The course of treatment for prostatitis varies from person to person, especially the treatment period for chronic prostatitis will be longer, while the treatment time for acute prostatitis will be relatively shorter.

Let us understand the treatment methods of prostatitis as follows:

1. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment plays an important role in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. However, due to the long course of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and slow effect, people cannot persist in taking the medicine and stop taking it early when they are fully recovered, which can easily make the symptoms of prostatitis prolong and difficult to cure.

2. Combination of Chinese and Western medicine is the only method that can completely cure prostatitis. The drug ingredients are easily absorbed and gradually penetrate into the prostate tissue and glandular ducts, fundamentally eliminating inflammation, hyperplasia and hypertrophy.

3. Antibiotic treatment: This method of treating prostatitis is the simplest, most convenient and easy to operate, but it is often difficult to reach a concentration due to the easy decomposition of antibiotics, which highlights the microscopic effect. Prostatitis cannot be cured in time, leaving patients with worries about future problems.

4. Injection therapy. Since systemic antibiotics are difficult to reach effective concentrations in the prostate and affect the therapeutic efficacy, a treatment method of directly injecting antibiotics into the prostate has emerged.

5. Physical therapy. Physical therapy uses various physical factors such as electricity, heat, light, sound, and water to improve local blood circulation and help dissipate inflammation, but it cannot fundamentally kill bacteria, pathogens, and disease-causing microorganisms. Clinically, it is only used as an auxiliary treatment method for prostatitis.

Since the severity of each patient's condition is different, the specific treatment period of prostatitis also varies greatly. I hope everyone can deal with this situation correctly to reduce the harm caused by prostatitis to patients.

How long does it take to cure chronic prostatitis?

Since it is chronic prostatitis, its onset is not overnight. The course of treatment for chronic prostatitis is relatively long, generally taking about 20-40 days, or even longer to control symptoms and cure the disease. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should be prepared for a protracted battle. Some patients also have white blood cells in prostatic fluid that drop to normal after treatment, and bacterial culture turns from positive to negative, but their subjective symptoms do not improve, or the symptoms have disappeared, but they are still worried. These patients need certain psychological treatment. During the treatment process, patients with chronic prostatitis should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water; avoid holding urine, sitting for a long time and fatigue; pay attention and strengthen.
