Patient's question:
Male, 42 years old, always feels urinary irritation, feels like there's still urine after urination, and has a weak stream with white discharge. Sometimes, when defecating, it flows as viscous liquid. A few months ago, he visited a hospital, but the doctor didn't recommend a thorough examination, saying it was typical chronic prostatitis. How should one treat chronic prostatitis with kidney yin deficiency and scrotal dampness?Doctor's answer:
Based on the medical history, symptoms, and signs you have described (such as damp scrotum, premature ejaculation, etc.), combined with the results of the examination, the initial consideration is chronic prostatitis with sexual dysfunction, and kidney stones may also be possible. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to consult a professional urologist for follow-up. Depending on the medical history, symptoms, and signs, further coordinated examinations may be necessary, such as routine prostatic fluid tests, gonadal hormone tests, penile sensitive nerve tests, penile blood flow tests, and routine semen tests. After a clear diagnosis is confirmed, targeted and standardized treatment should be administered according to a prescribed course to resolve the issue. Pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet, get adequate rest, avoid overworking, refrain from drug use, and practice moderate sexual activity—neither excessive indulgence nor complete abstinence. Drink plenty of water, avoid holding urine, and do not remain in a static position for too long.
