Patient's question:
I used to feel uncomfortable when using the restroom with a sense of pain, and later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I have been trying various medications that are said to be effective, but none have worked well. Now, I've heard that traditional Chinese medicine can treat it. I would like to ask how traditional Chinese medicine treats prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of prostatitis, the current approach primarily involves conservative treatment methods based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for conditioning. Oral Chinese herbal medications such as Pulegan Tablets, Prostadyn Tablets, and Qianmao Shutong Capsules can be taken. At this time, do not take medication casually but use it appropriately under the guidance of a professional doctor. It is also necessary to regularly visit a TCM hospital for follow-up examinations to monitor the condition of the prostate. Additionally, warm water sitz baths and massage therapy for the prostate can be used as supplementary treatments.If the prostatitis condition is severe, it is recommended to seek treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
