The etiology and pathogenesis of prostatitis are very complex, and the treatment is also difficult. Therefore, the World Health Organization calls this disease "the 21st century disease". So, what are the treatment methods for prostatitis and which method has the best effect?
Does prostatitis require antibiotic treatment?
Antibiotic treatment is a commonly used method for the treatment of prostatitis in clinical practice. Theoretically, antibiotics are only effective for acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis. Abuse of antibiotics can easily lead to bacterial resistance.
When using antibiotics, it is advisable to choose antibiotics that are fat soluble, easily penetrate the prostate barrier, and have a low binding rate with plasma proteins. First-line drugs such as quinolones (such as norfloxacin, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, etc.), sulfonamides (such as cotrimoxazole), and tetracyclines (such as tetracycline, minocycline) can be selected.
What are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine treatment?
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly adopts methods such as regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that symptoms such as low back pain and weak legs, lack of energy, and affecting sexual function are kidney deficiency, so the method of tonifying the kidney should be used for treatment.
Many pharmaceutical companies have developed traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations due to the difficulty in preparing and taking traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, Qianlie'an Suppository and Zegui Longshuang Capsules are available on the market.
Qianlie'an Suppository is a suppository that is administered through the rectal route, with rapid absorption and rapid onset of effect. It can play a role in reducing inflammation and urethral resistance, thereby relieving prostatitis.
Zegui Longshuang Capsule has the effects of relieving heat, removing stasis and nodules, promoting blood circulation and detumescence, and resolving qi and diuresis. It can improve blood circulation in the pelvic floor, eliminate prostatitis, hyperemia, and edema, and relieve tension myalgia in the perineum and pelvic floor, with a good therapeutic effect.
What other issues should be noted besides treatment?
1. Confidence in overcoming diseases should be established. Chronic prostatitis is not an incurable disease, but it has a longer course and is prone to relapse. Adhering to comprehensive treatment is still expected to achieve a radical cure.
2. Living and developing good living habits; Prevent excessive fatigue, prevent colds, prohibit smoking and alcohol, and avoid spicy and stimulating diet; Riding fewer bicycles; Don't have sex too often or abstinence.
3. Interests, hobbies, and appropriate physical exercise to transfer the psychological burden of chronic prostatitis and eliminate anxiety.
