Patient's question:
Carefully diagnosed with prostatitis for over a year, after listening to the doctor's advice and following medication treatment, the symptoms have been somewhat relieved, and the feeling of urgency and frequent urination has also decreased. My wife said there is a folk remedy that says plantain can treat prostatitis. Is that true? Hello, can plantain treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The plantain indeed has anti-inflammatory and swelling-reducing effects, and it can also provide some assistance for prostatitis. However, it cannot solely rely on plantain for treatment. For prostatitis, medication should still be the foundation, and it is also necessary to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, avoid sitting for long periods, and not hold in urine. Sexual activity should be reduced, but it is not necessary to feel coldness. Plantain can be used to make tea and consumed regularly, which can be very helpful in alleviating symptoms. For severe prostatitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications to treat the condition, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
