Patient's question:
3 years ago, I felt uncomfortable and went for a check-up, where I was diagnosed with prostatitis. In these years, it has been recurring repeatedly, and it has never fully recovered. My wife has also been unable to get pregnant. I am currently very distressed. Please ask: What are the contraindications for treating granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is best approached through a combination of Western and Chinese medicine. First, antibiotics should be used for 7-14 days, followed by Chinese medicine for stabilization. The treatment of prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve complete recovery. During the treatment, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, eat non-irritating foods, do not smoke or drink beer, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy called warm Sitz bath: Pour about 40% of water (enough that your hand does not feel too hot) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. Add more hot water when the water temperature drops to keep it at an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
