The prostate is a special tissue organ, and prostatitis is also a relatively complex symptom. Prostatitis patients typically experience systemic symptoms such as chills, high fever, pain, and fatigue, inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, and pain near the urethra, discomfort during urination, difficulty urinating, urgency, and increased nocturia, as well as feelings of swelling and pain in the lumbosacral and genital areas. Due to different causes and manifestations, the treatment time varies depending on the treatment method. So, how long does it take to treat chronic prostatitis?
The general treatment for chronic prostatitis requires patients to rest in bed for 3-4 days, drink plenty of water, and avoid drinking alcohol or consuming stimulating foods. Hot water sitz baths are feasible and bowel movements should be kept unobstructed. Contraindications to sexual activity.
The injection therapy for chronic prostatitis is also one of the treatment methods for acute prostatitis. Due to the difficulty in achieving effective concentrations of antibiotics in the prostate during systemic use, which affects the therapeutic effect, the treatment method of directly injecting antibiotics into the prostate has emerged. When choosing this treatment method, one must be cautious. Only consider this method when other methods are ineffective, and the puncture should not be too frequent. The puncture should be done 1-2 times a week, and the treatment course should not be too long. It should be controlled within 1-2 months. In case of dysuria or urinary retention, temporary suprapubic cystostomy should be performed to drain urine, or a soft silicone catheter should be used for indwelling catheterization.
Antibiotic treatment for chronic prostatitis is a commonly used method for the treatment of acute prostatitis. Many patients in clinical practice use antibiotics for treatment. As long as these Western medicines persist in treatment, they can basically achieve visible therapeutic effects. Patients need to adhere to sufficient and full treatment, which takes at least two to four weeks. If the condition is severe, the course of treatment may also be extended. But the drawback of this treatment method is the recurrent nature of the disease, which is also a fact that can give us headaches.
