Sexual Harassment: Are you prepared for sexual harassment today?

Prostatitis pain may heal on its own, but it needs to be determined based on the specific cause. Acute bacterial prostatitis usually requires medication, and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis may be relieved with lifestyle modifications.

Acute bacterial prostatitis is mostly caused by pathogenic infections such as Escherichia coli and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, frequent urination and urgency. At this time, antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and cefixime dispersible tablets must be used as directed by the doctor to control the infection, otherwise it may progress to prostate abscess. Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is often related to factors such as prolonged sitting and drinking, and manifests as dull pain in the perineal area or discomfort during urination. By taking 15-minute warm water sitz baths every day, avoiding spicy foods, and regular ejaculation, some patients' symptoms can be gradually relieved.

A few special types, such as asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis, may have no symptoms for a long time, and only abnormal white blood cells in the prostatic fluid are found during physical examination. In this case, if there is no urinary dysfunction, no special treatment is usually required. However, if it is combined with prostate calcification or persistent decrease in urinary flow rate, intervention is still needed to prevent the progression of fibrosis.

It is recommended that patients avoid cycling or sitting for long periods of time and drink more than 2000 ml of water every day. When hematospermia, ejaculation pain, or radiating pain in the lower abdomen occur, routine and ultrasound examination of prostate fluid should be performed promptly. For those with chronic pain that lasts for more than 3 months, physical therapy such as microwave heat therapy may be considered to improve local blood circulation.
