Does gastritis cause nausea and vomiting when taking traditional Chinese medicine for prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Consulting about traditional Chinese medicine, I checked today and found some prostatitis. I was prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. I have superficial gastritis with erosion, inflamed duodenal bulb, stomach pain, and also unformed stools. Hello, will this traditional Chinese medicine cause nausea and vomiting? I'm currently experiencing frequent stomach issues and am afraid it will get worse if I eat it.

Doctor's answer:

These drugs are used to treat kidney yin deficiency and are effective for prostatitis. They clear heat, dry dampness, drain fire, eliminate steam, expel toxins, and heal sores. These medications may cause nausea and vomiting, so it is recommended that you consult with the doctor who prescribed them again. During medication, pay attention to your diet and strictly avoid spicy and irritating foods. Prostatitis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding the symptomatic treatment. In daily life, maintain a proper diet and avoid irritating foods.
