There is serious misinformation on the internet about prostatitis Prostatitis is one of the common diseases among adult men. Although it is not a direct life-threatening disease, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients. At the same time, its large patient population and high medical costs place a huge economic burden on public health. As the pathogenesis and pathophysiological changes of chronic prostatitis are not well understood, many physicians find it tricky in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic prostatitis. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The internet says that prostatitis can cause impotence / premature ejaculation / infertility / urethral stricture / prostate hypertrophy / prostate cancer, etc. This is purely misleading to patients for the purpose of extracting money, and I hope to draw the attention of the majority of patients. Not all patients need treatment. The goal of treatment for chronic prostatitis is mainly to relieve pain, improve urinary symptoms and improve quality of life, and efficacy evaluation should be based on symptom improvement. Prostatitis should be treated in a comprehensive manner. Type I: Mainly broad-spectrum antibiotics, symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy. Those with urinary retention can be treated with fine tube catheterization or suprapubic cystocentesis to drain urine, and those with prostate abscess can be treated with surgical drainage. Type II: Treatment is based on oral antibiotics, choosing sensitive drugs for a course of 4 to 6 weeks, during which the patient should be evaluated for stage efficacy. If the efficacy is unsatisfactory, other sensitive antibiotics can be used instead. Alpha-blockers can be used to improve urinary symptoms and pain. Botanical preparations, NSAIDs and M-blockers can also improve the associated symptoms. Type IIIA: Oral antibiotics can be given for 2 to 4 weeks, and then the decision to continue antibiotic therapy is based on their efficacy feedback. Alpha-blockers are recommended to improve urinary symptoms and pain. Phytochemicals, NSAIDs and M-blockers are also available to improve urinary symptoms and pain. Type IIIB: Treatment with alpha-blockers, botanical agents, NSAIDs and M-blockers is recommended. Type IV: No treatment is usually required. It is asymptomatic and is detected during pathological examination of prostate massage fluid (EPS), semen, urine after prostate massage, prostate tissue biopsy and prostatectomy specimens.
