Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing discomfort and frequent urination even when I am intimate with my wife. So, I underwent a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis. He prescribed some Western medicine for treatment, but the effect wasn't very good. It is said that taking some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) might help, so I wanted to confirm whether TCM can effectively treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the patient's condition, after the hospital's thorough examination and diagnosis, is confirmed as chronic prostatitis, it is generally still recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for (regulating and maintaining health). According to TCM, these conditions are often indicative of kidney deficiency. This may be related to factors such as the patient's work stress or excessively frequent sexual activity. However, TCM emphasizes the "four diagnostic methods" (), and since individual constitutions and conditions vary, treatment methods are not entirely the same. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a regular TCM hospital for follow-up and consult with the doctor. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Thus, patients should seek timely medication treatment.
