Patient's question:
Six months ago, I kept experiencing frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and a feeling of incomplete urination. I thought it was benign prostatic hyperplasia and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the examination, they said I had prostatitis and prescribed some medication to treat it, which worked. However, over the past year, it has recurred repeatedly. A friend suggested I could try enduring it and drink Changxin tea. I would like to consult: Is drinking Changxin tea effective for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
You have chronic prostatitis, which is a common disease in the male urinary and reproductive system. Its characteristic is a long course of the disease and a tendency to recur repeatedly. You can take Pule'an tablets orally or Qianmao Shule capsules for treatment. Avoid drinking beer, eating spicy foods, and getting cold. It is essential to drink plenty of water, do perineal cold compresses, or sit in a bath daily. The key to treating prostatitis lies in regulating daily diet and lifestyle. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis in professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
