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 sexual activity, and maintain dryness at all times to help prevent transmission. For those with phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed to prevent pathogens from causing infections in the prostate. Success lies in having restrained, regular sexual activity or controlling moderate sexual frequency to regularly discharge prostatic fluid. It is recommended to eat foods that clear heat, generate fluids, nourish yin, and moisten the lungs, such as lily bulbs, glutinous rice, honey, peanuts, fresh yam, white fungus, pears, red dates, lotus seeds, and sugarcane. You can also eat more seafood, sea cucumber, sesame seeds, and walnuts, which nourish yin and replenish the kidneys. Avoid spicy foods, such as scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and pepper.
