Treating Prostatitis Based On Its Type Features Great Efficiency

There are different types of prostatitis, so it is needed to treat the disease based on its types, thus achieving efficiency. Because prostatitis can be classified into many types, roughly including chronic bacterial prostatitis, acute bacterial prostatitis, nonbacterial prostatitis and so on. 

Doctors state that it is very crucial to set up as accurately as possible which of these forms prostatitis is responsible as the treatment for each one varies.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is an infection associated with a variety of symptoms including the frequency and urgency of urination, pain during urination, pain under the scrotum, low back pain and painful ejaculation. 

Since the symptoms are generally not severe. Patients will often seek medical care for a longer period of time, exactly speaking, four to twelve weeks. What's more, some patients must utilize the methods of antibiotic medicine. 

Besides, the patient must be treated by anti-inflammatory medicines along with warms sitz baths, which is the most conservative treatment for chronic prostatitis. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is usually caused by E. coli which can be nourished form either urinary track or the prostatitis secretions. Since the symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis are similar to those of nonbacterial prostatitis. 

However, the difference between them lies in the latter is far more common than the former. So, a patient in whom a positive culture is not obtained can be assumed to have nonbacterial prostatitis. It cannot be cured via chemical medicine, especially by antibiotics, while it can be cured by TCM safely and effectively, such as the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.

On the flip side, acute bacterial prostatitis is the easiest of the various forms of prostatitis to solve. It’s main manifestations include fever, chills, frequent and painful urination. Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis can suffer a lot in a short term. 

Though an obviously tender prostate gland will help establish the diagnosis, examination of the prostate is not performed during the acute stage as this can be make the infection significantly worse.

Accordingly, the diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of many white blood cells and bacteria in the urine. Antibiotics are highly successful in eliminating the infection. Respond to treatment is usually rapid as most patients will begin to experience great improvement in symptoms. 

But it is important to continue treatment for a several days,as shorter periods of treatment will increase the patients' susceptibility to chronic bacterial prostatitis.

Nonbacterial prostatitis common symptoms involve mild to moderate frequency and urgency of urination, painful urination, and pain between the scrotum and the rectum. Some patients will report discomfort at the tip of the penis and a reduction in the size and force of urinary stream as well as a loss of libido. 

While cultures of urine and prostatitis fluid in most patients are negative, fluid obtained from the prostate usually reveals many white blood cells or inflammatory cells. The initial treatment of it often consists of antibiotics for about one to three months. 

Further, in terms of the daily diet, doctors suggest male patients stay away from spicy food, wine, coffee, cold drinks and so on, while eat more fresh fruits and vegetables instead.
