Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for many years. During snowfall or overcast days, the pain in my lower left abdomen is particularly severe. I have tried many Chinese and Western medications, but they never fully heal it. They say taking Panax notoginseng powder can treat prostatitis. Hello, is Panax notoginseng powder effective for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Sanchi powder mainly has the effect of promoting blood circulation and reducing blood stasis, as well as lowering blood pressure. It can assist in alleviating prostatitis, but the effect is very short-lived and not very effective. What can be taken are drugs for prostatitis drainage and antibiotic treatments to correct prostatitis. The best approach is to culture prostatic fluid to identify the pathogen and treat accordingly. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
