Can traditional Chinese medicine treat prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Prostatitis has been going on for almost a year. I've visited all the hospitals in the county, but none of them could treat it effectively. I'd like to ask if the provincial traditional Chinese medicine hospital can treat prostatitis? Are there any medications that can treat prostatitis? Can traditional Chinese medicine treat this condition? Are there any other treatment methods besides this?

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can treat prostatitis. For treating prostatitis, levofloxacin capsules are commonly used to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammation and promoting blood circulation. TCM can also treat prostatitis, but the effect is relatively slow. Prostatitis is generally treated with medication. During treatment, it is necessary to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, ensure bowel regularity, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
