How To Get Rid Of Prostatitis?
Prostatitis, as the inflammation of prostate gland, is a tricky issue in men. It brings many excruciating symptoms, such as pain in lower back and lower abdomen, pain between the scrotum and rectum (perineum), weak urine flow, urinate frequently and urgently, difficult urinating. If it is an acute form, it is also accompanied by chills and fever. Acute prostatitis only accounts for 5% of prostatitis cases but the symptoms are the severest. The most common type is known as nonbacterial prostatitis, and the cause is not known. It lasts for a long period of time and causes chronic symptoms. The symptoms can be improved and then recur repeatedly.
Prostatitis is often difficult to treat due to the unknown cause of the common form and other complications exist. Some men have signs of inflammation, such as white blood cells in their semen, but not the painful symptoms of prostatitis.
Chronic prostatitis, as the common form of prostatitis, is usually developed from acute bacterial infection or an unidentified nonbacterial source. Nearly 95% of men with prostatitis are believed to have the chronic nonbacterial form (also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or CPPS).
Treatments for prostatitis
Antibiotics are the most commonly-used medicine for bacterial prostatitis. This form can be treated with antibiotics for one to four weeks. Antibiotics that are appropriate for treating this form include trimethoprim, doxycycline, and fluoroquinolones. However, some men do not respond to antibiotic treatment and symptoms sometimes reappear once the antibiotics are stopped. What’s worse, the inflammation may develop chronic and a long-term antibiotics is required.
