Is fungal infection of the prostate serious?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Male
Hello, I have prostatitis along with a fungal infection. Is it difficult to treat? I have undergone laser treatment, but it improved intermittently and then recurred. The doctor said it's nothing serious, but the condition has been getting worse. What should I do? Is my prostatitis caused by a fungal infection?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, explaining the techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Chronic prostatitis is categorized as "white turbidity" and "sperm turbidity" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM believes that this condition is caused by "lower burner damp-heat" and "qi transformation and endocrine dysfunction." TCM has rich experience in treating chronic prostatitis, with its treatment methods divided into two major categories: internal and external treatments. The principle of treatment is to warm and tonify the kidney yang. Commonly used formulas include modified Guifu Bawei Wan.
