Patient's question:
My uncle has been living with me for a long time. Recently, he has been experiencing frequent urination and pain during urination. At first, we thought it was just a simple urinary tract infection and he took some anti-inflammatory medication. Later, we noticed some pain in the area of the bladder and sometimes there were abnormal secretions in his urine. After examination, it was found that he has prostate stones. How can prostate stones be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic Treatment: This is a common method for treating prostatitis. Antibiotic drugs diffuse from the plasma into prostatic fluid, and most are effective against Gram-positive bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. However, due to the inability to penetrate the lipid membrane of the prostate epithelium to reach the prostate acini for therapeutic effect, the treatment outcomes are not very ideal.Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, is a chronic condition, which makes traditional Chinese medicine play an extraordinary role in its treatment. Moreover, the prospects are optimistic.
