Doxycycline can work on frequent urination caused by prostatitis. While, it is not effective for every prostatitis patient. Hence, select herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is necessary.

1. Can Doxycycline Work on Frequent
Urination Caused by Prostatitis?
Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TCM Clinic

2. When treating prostatitis symptoms, for
example, frequent urination, prostatitis
patients will think of taking antibiotics
such as doxycycline. However, this notion
is radically wrong. Doxycycline is a
common drug used in the clinical
treatment of prostatitis, but it is not
effective for all prostatitis. Doxycycline
only has certain effects on patients with
bacterial prostatitis.

3. Doxycycline belongs to the tetracycline
class of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Microorganisms have close cross-
resistance to this antibiotic with
tetracycline and oxytetracycline. The oral
absorption of this drug is proven
effective. It is used mainly for upper
respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis,
biliary tract infections, lymphadenitis,
cellulitis, chronic bronchitis in the elderly
caused by sensitive gram-positive
bacteria and gram-negative bacilli, etc.

4. It is also used to treat typhus, Qiang
Worm disease, mycoplasma pneumonia,
etc. Besides, it can treat tetanus and
other allergic patients. Its specific use
can be consulted with the treating
physician. Different methods are used
for different patients with various
infections. Therefore, doxycycline should
never be abused.

5. Also, doxycycline may produce many
adverse reactions. For example, 20% of
the patients will have gastrointestinal
reactions, such as nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, etc. The adverse reactions can
be reduced when the drug is taken after
meals. In addition, doxycycline may also
produce certain adverse reactions, such
as hepatotoxicity, phototoxicity,
nephrotoxicity, brain pseudotumor, and
vestibular reaction.

6. Long-term use may lead to dual
infections, such as drug-resistant
staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative
bacteria, and fungi. So prostatitis
patients must take it only after an
objective assessment of their condition
by their doctor and must not take it on
their own in case of severe adverse
consequences.

7. Doctors are cautious when treating
frequent urination caused by prostatitis
with antibiotics in clinical practice. The
medication is usually carefully
administered with great caution based on
the patient's drug sensitivity time.
Prostatitis, such as non-bacterial
prostatitis, does not require antibiotics
because they are ineffective for this
disease. Doxycycline is only effective for
prostatitis that is caused by a bacterial
infection.

8. In addition, each person's constitution
and absorption rate of the drug is
different, and some patients may be
allergic to this drug. Hence, doxycycline
is not effective for every prostatitis
patient. When the patient has a mild
urinary frequency condition, there may
need not to use antibiotics. Their
symptoms may be greatly relieved if they
change their habits and get more rest. In
this case, the doctor is likely not to
recommend using doxycycline. After all,
this medicine may be harmful to the body.

9. In contrast, the choice of herbal
medicine to treat frequent urination
caused by prostatitis is free of side
effects and safe. For example, the herbal
medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory
Pill can effectively kill bacteria, reduce
inflammation and eliminate swelling.

10. With its broad-spectrum antibacterial
properties, this medicine can eradicate
many bacteria and viruses, as well as
mycoplasma and chlamydia, which cause
diseases in the male genitourinary system.
More importantly, Its clinical effect is
satisfactory.

11. Because there are more types of
prostatitis, it is important to distinguish
the cause when treating it and make an
accurate diagnosis before choosing
doxycycline. Although this antibiotic is
ordinary, it has merely a general clinical
effect on the treatment of prostatitis.
So patients should seek help from a
professional doctor in time and choose
the right medication.
