Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis, frequent urination, urgent urination, weak urination, and hesitation to urinate are normal. The condition has been ongoing since 2009 until now. There has been sexual activity, previously ranging from four to three times a week, but now it is very rare. Currently, there are issues with impotence, premature ejaculation, and poor sexual function. Erections have not occurred or have been firm for about three years, and the condition is getting worse. Is this related to chronic prostatitis, or is it due to kidney deficiency, high stress? I hope the doctor can clarify this for me. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Considering the condition where there are symptoms of urinary tract inflammation and also signs of kidney deficiency, for urinary tract inflammation, it is recommended to avoid spicy foods in the diet and take some anti-inflammatory medication. For kidney deficiency, it is necessary to go to a hospital and have a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner take a pulse to determine if it is yin deficiency or yang deficiency. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
