The treatment speed for prostate diseases depends on the specific type of disease and individual differences. Common prostate diseases include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. Below is an overview of some treatment approaches:
1. Prostatitis:
Bacterial prostatitis: Usually treated with antibiotics; sensitive drugs are selected, and the course of treatment may require 4-6 weeks or longer.
Nonbacterial prostatitis: May involve over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications such as avoiding prolonged sitting and reducing alcohol consumption.
2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
Medication: Includes α1-receptor blockers (to improve urine flow) and 5α-reductase inhibitors (to reduce prostate size).
Minimally invasive procedures: Such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral laser prostatectomy.
Open surgery: For severe cases, open prostatectomy may be required.
