    Prostatitis can be cured in most cases, and the effectiveness of treatment is related to the specific type and patient cooperation. Prostatitis can be divided into acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic non-bacterial prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which requires joint intervention through standardized treatment and life adjustment.

    Acute bacterial prostatitis is usually caused by infection with pathogens such as Escherichia coli and manifests as sudden high fever, frequent urination and urgency, and severe perineal pain. Doctors may choose antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and cefixime capsules for anti-infection treatment based on drug sensitivity tests, and at the same time, use acetaminophen tablets to relieve pain. Most of these patients can fully recover after taking a full course of medication for 2-4 weeks.

    Chronic bacterial prostatitis pathogens may hide in the glands and form biofilms, manifesting as recurrent urinary tract infections and pelvic discomfort. Doctors may recommend long-term use of fosfomycin trometamol powder, which is more universally applicable, combined with tamsulosin sustained-release capsules to improve urination, and use prostate massage to promote drug penetration. Such patients need to adhere to comprehensive treatment for 3-6 months and regularly review prostatic fluid.

    Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis accounts for the majority of clinical cases and may be related to pelvic floor muscle spasm, immune abnormalities or neural regulation disorders. Symptoms include persistent dull pelvic pain and discomfort during urination. The doctor may prescribe celecoxib capsules for pain relief, methylcobalamin tablets for nerve nutrition, and biofeedback therapy to relax the pelvic floor muscles. Such patients need to adjust their sedentary habits and take warm sitz baths. After the symptoms are controlled, the probability of recurrence is low.

    Spicy foods and alcohol intake should be avoided on a daily basis, and maintaining a regular frequency of sexual life can help discharge prostatic fluid. Do moderate exercises such as brisk walking or swimming to improve pelvic blood circulation, and keep warm to avoid getting cold and aggravating symptoms. During the treatment period, most patients can achieve satisfactory symptom relief and improvement in quality of life by strictly following the doctor's instructions to complete the course of treatment, and conducting regular follow-up visits to evaluate the efficacy.
