Questions

Do I need to be hospitalized for treatment?

You don’t need to be hospitalized. The treatment is quite relaxing and takes about ten minutes or so. After treatment you could leave. However, patients need to stay in a motel or hotel nearby to receive treatment every day.

Do I need to stop taking antibiotics before treatment?


You should be off all antibiotics for at least three weeks because antibiotics make it very difficult to isolate the organisms that are causing your problems. However, you can continue to take herbal preparations and non-antibiotics prescriptions.  

Does my female partner need to be treated?


If your prostatitis is caused by STDs, such as infected by Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia, virus etc, it is highly recommended. Women partners of patients with prostatitis can provide important diagnostic clues. Sometimes, it is easier to identify the causative organism in a woman than in a man.

Also, unless the woman is treated at the same time, it is likely that the man will suffer a recurrence. However, female patients have the option of getting treated at home with the medicine brought back by their male partners.

Do I need to make an appointment?

You need to make an appointment for treatment. You may consult us with your case through email at prostatitischina@yahoo.com.  If necessary, we could initiate telephone consultation by appointment.
