When men first develop prostatitis, it is usually acute, and treatment is effective at this time, and often can be cured within a short period of time. However, if treatment is not timely, it can change from acute to chronic, making treatment not only more difficult, but also more harmful. The following is an introduction to the treatment of acute prostatitis.
1. Medication. Drug therapy is still one of the most commonly used treatments, but it is not generally the only treatment. You should rest in bed for 3-4 days, drink appropriate water, and avoid drinking alcohol and consuming stimulating food. Hot water sitz bath or hot compress on the perineum can be used to keep bowel movements smooth. Taboo sexual life. When the patient has obvious systemic symptoms, high body temperature, and a significant increase in white blood cells, they should be administered intravenously. After one week of use, they should be switched to oral medication until one month; "When the patient's overall symptoms are not severe and their body temperature and blood count are normal, they can be administered orally, with a general course of treatment of 1 month.". Anti infective drugs that can diffuse into the prostate and are fast and effective should be selected to quickly control symptoms and prevent the transition to chronic prostatitis.
2. Surgical treatment. For some patients with prostatitis, surgical treatment is required and careful diagnosis is required. If acute prostatitis has formed a prostate abscess, incision and drainage through the rectum or perineum should be performed. "If the abscess is confined to the prostate, urethroscopy can be used to perform prostate puncture and drainage, followed by injection of broad-spectrum antibiotics.".
It can be seen that among the treatment methods for acute prostatitis, the most commonly used are drug treatment and surgical treatment. As long as the patient can seek medical attention in a timely manner, undergo a formal diagnosis, and perform treatment based on a clear understanding of the disease, good treatment results can be achieved.
