Patient's question:
Does taking traditional Chinese medicine for prostate treatment affect routine prostatic fluid tests and cultures?Doctor's answer:
Oral traditional Chinese medicine has a certain impact on routine tests and culture of prostatic fluid. Prostatitis cannot be cured solely by medication and requires careful consideration of treatment plans. It is recommended that you revisit a formal hospital for follow-up. Experts will develop additional treatment plans based on your condition, which can be effective in the short term. Prostatitis can be recovered, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
