Patient's question:
Over the past two years, whenever I had sexual relations with my wife, I always felt weak and unenergetic, and my abdomen was always in pain, making me very uncomfortable. After a thorough medical examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. My friend told me that moxibustion treatment is very effective for this condition. I urgently need help: how does moxibustion treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture treatment for prostatitis can only provide some auxiliary therapeutic effects and cannot achieve fundamental results. Therefore, if it is clear that timely and standardized treatment is needed, it is recommended to promptly return to the urology department for follow-up. The doctor will address the specific situation accordingly. In daily life, avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise, as well as quitting smoking and alcohol. Maintain a moderate level of sexual activity and avoid the habit of masturbation. In addition to symptomatic treatment for the prostate, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to obtain good therapeutic effects.
