Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis caused by damp-heat accumulation in the lower body, due to the stagnation and unresolved heat in the kidneys, or prolonged damp-heat stagnation, leading to stagnation of essence channels, qi, and blood, making it difficult to heal. Treatment should focus on nourishing the kidneys and Yin, clearing the ministerial fire, and often involves modifying Zhipi Dihuang Wan with herbs such as Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, Rehmannia, Cornus, Dioscorea, Moutan, Poria, and Alisma. This medicine not only reduces liver fire but also helps regulate and treat prostatitis. In reality, having prostatitis is not something to fear. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as treatment is sought promptly in the early stages, the chances of alleviating symptoms and recovery are very high.
