The treatment for different types of prostatitis varies. The first line of treatment for bacterial prostatitis remains the application of antibiotics. Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis sometimes require hospitalization and antibiotic therapy given strictly intravenously. In addition to the application of antibiotics, alpha-blockers (e.g., Cordovan, Harlequin, etc.) can relax the muscles around the prostate and bladder outlet and relieve the muscle spasm and tension that occurs during urination, which can effectively reduce dyspareunia and painful urination. Some people have found that symptoms can be reduced by prostate massage. However, patients with acute prostatitis should never perform prostate massage. For the discomfort caused by prostatitis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as anti-inflammatory pain, aspirin, celecoxib, etc.) can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain; hot water sitz baths and other heat therapy methods can also reduce discomfort; if the patient feels uncomfortable sitting, add pillows or expandable air cushions to the seat; bicyclists can make the necessary adjustments to the angle of the car seat or replace it with a suitable seat. Stress reduction can also be helpful in relieving symptoms, including relaxation training and biofeedback therapy. Preliminary studies suggest that acupuncture treatment may also reduce symptoms.
