Patient's question:
I have been particularly busy at work recently, and my schedule and diet have been quite irregular. The past two days, I suddenly felt that urination wasn't very smooth, and there was some pain at the urethral opening, which was very uncomfortable. After urinating, there were also white, sticky fluids dripping out. I suspect it might be prostatitis. What herbs are good for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis requires attention in daily life. Avoid frequent masturbation or sexual activity, as it may affect complete recovery. When taking Chinese herbal medicine, everyone has a different constitution, so it cannot be taken universally. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at a hospital's TCM department for pulse-taking and herbal treatment. Recovery from this condition is relatively slow, so it is advisable to take the medication for a longer period. Additionally, dietary regulation is important, as prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Moreover, sexual activity should be controlled, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
