Patient's question:
How to recover from chronic prostatitis? Ultrasound examination showed normal size and shape of the prostate with fibrosis points, with frequent urination and mild impotence. How to treat it completely?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily characterized by symptoms such as: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. A white discharge is often present in the urethra, and it may also include symptoms like lower back pain, knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, or even hematuria (blood in urine) and hematospermia (blood in semen). In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under categories such as "hot-dampness obstruction," "exertion-induced dampness," and "cloudy semen," and is divided into conditions like:- Syndrome of heat-dampness obstruction
- Syndrome of yin deficiency with internal heat
- Syndrome of insufficient kidney yang
- Syndrome of blood and Qi stagnation
However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital for clinical diagnosis, combining the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to prescribe the appropriate treatment. Only then can the medicine effectively address the condition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
