Patient's question:
I'm only 25 years old, I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't have any bad sexual habits either. But recently, I've noticed that there's always white stuff coming out of my urethra, and it feels itchy and painful when I urinate. I think it might be prostatitis, so I'm asking: what methods are effective for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to sexual intercourse under sterile condoms, clean the penis and perineum after sex, and keep them dry at all times to help prevent transmission. Men with phimosis or paraphimosis should undergo circumcision to prevent pathogens from causing infections in the prostate. Success lies in maintaining a restrained and regular sexual life or controlling the appropriate frequency of sexual activity to regularly discharge prostatic fluid. It is recommended to eat more cooling and nourishing foods that promote Yin and moisten the lungs, such as lily bulbs, glutinous rice, honey, peanuts, fresh yam, white fungus, pears, jujubes, lotus seeds, and sugarcane. You can also eat more seafood, sea cucumbers, sesame seeds, and walnuts, which nourish Yin and replenish the kidneys. Avoid spicy foods, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and pepper.
