Patient's question:
I have had a long time, going to the toilet to urinate always feels a bit painful down there. It's like you have inflammation. I took medicine and it didn't get better, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and later found out I had prostatitis. What are the treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for prostatitis include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, Western medicine treatment, physical therapy, and integrated Chinese and Western medicine. If it is chronic, a comprehensive herbal treatment is highly recommended as it is much more effective. In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, reduce smoking and beer consumption, and eat fewer spicy foods. Abstain from sexual activity, and avoid overly frequent sexual intercourse. Moderate physical activity is also beneficial. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results.
