Patient's question:
Last June, I had prostatitis with frequent urination and white, jelly-like semen. I took Cefixime for half a month, but it didn't work. Then I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and took a course of herbal medicine for kidney tonification, including Qianliekang. My sperm returned to normal, and there was no white discharge. Recently, I had two spicy meals and felt some discomfort in my lower abdomen. During a bowel movement, there was white discharge, but it improved after a couple of days. The sperm turned slightly yellow and jelly-like again. Is it a recurrence? Can it heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is not a serious illness; it can be called the male equivalent of a cold. There is no cure for it, mainly because it is related to lifestyle habits. It's important not to let the condition worsen repeatedly, which is easier to accept. It can heal on its own, but there is no cure. If it is transmitted, it is still prone to recurrence, similar to a cold virus infection. Maintain good lifestyle habits, exercise regularly, avoid prolonged sitting, quit smoking and drinking, do not have frequent sexual activity, do not ride bicycles, avoid spicy foods, and do not overwork. Always maintaining good lifestyle habits is the foundation and most important thing. Mild cases can heal on their own.
