Patient's question:
A little while after my last trip back, I started experiencing some pain in my testicles. It's been over a month now, and it's very uncomfortable. During this time, I've been urinating more frequently, but I have to hold it in for a long time before I can slowly let it out. It hurts while urinating, and I also have pain in the perineum, groin, testicles, lower back, small abdomen, and pubic bone. The penis and urethra are even more painful. After a careful examination, it was said that I have a prostatic cyst. How is this condition treated?Doctor's answer:
The Western medicine treatment for prostatic cysts primarily involves antibiotic therapy, which is a common clinical approach for treating prostatitis. Most patients with prostatodynia undergo Western medicine treatment, and many adopt this method. Theoretically, antibiotics are effective only against acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis.The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for prostatodynia mainly employs methods such as regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. TCM believes that symptoms like lower back and leg weakness, lack of energy, and impaired sexual function are due to kidney deficiency, so treatment should focus on replenishing the kidneys.
