Patient's question:
Got prostatitis and took traditional Chinese medicine for five months. Took anti-inflammatory medicine for three weeks, but it still hasn't improved. Detailed examination results show white blood cells ranging from 25-30, with purulent cells. The patient often has lower abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, and sexual dysfunction. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in men, often caused by various factors such as frequent sexual activity, unclean diet, and high work-related stress. An increase in white blood cells indicates that the inflammation has not yet been fully resolved. It is recommended that you, in addition to a blood test, also carefully check for mixed bacterial infections such as mycoplasma and chlamydia, as different types of bacteria require different antibiotic treatments. It is advised to use antibiotics in combination for treatment. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Finasteride can also be used to address issues such as urinary hesitation and sexual dysfunction.
