Patient's question:

My friend is currently suffering from prostatitis. How many types are there of prostatitis in traditional Chinese medicine? I don't understand what this is about and how it came about. I would like to know how many types there are of prostatitis in traditional Chinese medicine.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis requires confirmation through careful examination in Western medicine, while in traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis must be verified. Prostatitis typically includes acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic prostatitis. You can go to the urology department of the hospital to redo tests such as prostatic fluid and color Doppler MRI to carefully examine which type of prostatitis is present for confirmation and treatment. In the treatment of prostatitis, it is essential to completely eliminate the cause.
