Menopause: Chinese medicine is the best treatment for menopause

Chronic prostatitis can usually be cured, but treatment needs to be individualized based on the specific type and condition.

Chronic prostatitis is divided into two types: bacterial and non-bacterial. Bacterial chronic prostatitis is caused by pathogenic infection. Antibiotics that can penetrate prostate tissue need to be used for treatment, such as levofloxacin tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets, etc. The course of treatment may take 4-6 weeks. The treatment of non-bacterial chronic prostatitis focuses on relieving symptoms. Celecoxib capsules can be used to relieve pain, and tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules can be used to improve dysuria. About 50% of such patients will have symptoms disappear within 1 year after treatment.

Some patients may experience recurring or delayed symptoms, which is related to the special structure of the prostate gland and difficulty in drug penetration. Such patients need to adjust their treatment plan, possibly adding physical therapy such as microwave hyperthermia, or adopting a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Psychological factors may also affect the effectiveness of treatment, and anxiety and depression can aggravate symptoms.

Patients should avoid behaviors that compress the prostate such as sitting for long periods of time, riding bicycles, etc. Drinking 1500-2000 ml of water every day can help flush the urethra. Reduce the intake of spicy foods and maintain a regular sexual life to help discharge prostate fluid. It is recommended to review the prostate fluid routine every 3 months and adjust the treatment plan based on the examination results. After the symptoms completely disappear, observation still needs to be continued for 6 months to confirm cure.
