Patient's question:
My prostatitis has been going on for over a year. At that time, I always had frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as prostatitis. The doctor prescribed me many medications, but I felt that the treatment was not gradually improving. The doctor said this disease is chronic. I want to try treating it with traditional Chinese medicine methods. What are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of prostatitis, a combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) methods can be used. In terms of TCM, some patent medicines can be used for treatment, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pills) and Compound Xuan Gou Capsules, etc. It is also possible to consult a TCM practitioner for face-to-face diagnosis and prescription. Additionally, methods such as acupressure and acupuncture can be combined for treatment. Daily care and lifestyle adjustments should also be noted. The daily treatment of prostatitis primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, using oral medications and supplements with vitamins. It is important to maintain a diet that includes light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that prostatitis can be recovered as soon as possible! Thank you!
