Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed small lumps under the skin of the prostate area in the groin. The skin surface appears normal, but there is pain upon palpation. About past treatment and its effectiveness: I initially thought it was prostatitis and took some herbal remedies and antibiotics for it, but it seems to have had no effect. The kind of assistance I need: How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you provided, the symptoms are likely caused by prostatitis, which is related to insufficient kidney qi. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches can be used. First, it is important to pay attention to dietary adjustment, consuming light and easily digestible foods, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. Oral medications such as Pulegan tablets, Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pills, and Azithromycin dispersible tablets can be used for treatment. Wishing you good health.For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
