Patient's question:
Male. 29 years old. What category does prostatitis fall under in Traditional Chinese Medicine? How to answer? How to identify?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's description, prostatitis falls under the categories of "white turbidity" and "seminal turbidity" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM believes that prostatitis is caused by the erratic rise of "xing fire" (life fire), failure to fulfill desires, or the retention of semen, leading to the stagnation and accumulation of kidney fire, causing displaced essence to transform into white turbidity. Other reasons may include unclean sexual practices. In addition to timely medical treatment, patients with prostatitis need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help patients recover from this condition more quickly.
