Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I have prostatitis, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and dysuria. Does prostatitis affect fertility? Is it better to treat prostatitis with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine? I heard from others that traditional Chinese medicine is better? But I haven't heard this from a professional person.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is caused by inflammatory infections, and the main clinical manifestations include frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, premature ejaculation, and other symptoms. Long-term and severe prostatitis can affect sexual function and reduce sexual desire. Western medicine treatment takes effect quickly but is prone to drug resistance and recurrent relapses. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a gentle effect, fewer side effects, and can fundamentally solve the problem, but it takes longer to take effect. Therefore, for the treatment of prostatitis, it is best to use a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for better results. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
