Patient's question:
My husband is a driver, and his daily training consists of sitting and riding, which has now led to the condition of prostatitis. Although he is taking medication for treatment, the results are not fast enough, and he is a bit impatient. I heard that moxibustion is effective, so I want to ask if moxibustion can cure prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, moxibustion is a method of local treatment. Whether this condition can be cured depends primarily on the healing standards of the prostate. In clinical medical diagnosis, the standard for cure is met when the symptoms reappear. However, this symptom is also highly likely to recur. Therefore, prostatitis is a common clinical condition but also a difficult-to-treat disease. Prostatitis patients can, while understanding the principle of treating symptoms with corresponding medications, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge drink.
