Patient's question:
Last September, I noticed a dull pain in the lower pelvic area. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. The doctor prescribed Prostamol Capsules for me to take for a month, but it didn't improve. Later, I went to another hospital and took traditional Chinese medicine for another one or two months, but the effect wasn't very significant. Another examination revealed the result of prostatic cyst. I took the medicine for a month... All of them were capsules like Shuangshi Tong, Ningmaitai, and Wenglitong. During the Chinese New Year, I had a bit of alcohol, which might have worsened the symptoms.I have also abstained from masturbation. I don’t know if my current condition is serious or if it will affect fertility. At 25 and childless, can I use Sitz baths for treatment? Or should I focus on traditional Chinese medicine treatment? (I feel it’s not very effective, and the medicine is quite expensive. My financial situation isn’t great).
I still have a slight feeling of incomplete urination and occasionally...
Doctor's answer:
Last September, I noticed a dull pain in the lower pelvic area, and after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. Now, I have also abstained from masturbation, which is not considered severe and will not affect fertility. At 25 and childless, sitz baths can be used for treatment. Generally, there's no need for specialized Chinese herbal medicine treatment, as it doesn't seem very effective, and the medication is quite expensive. Given my limited financial resources, I can recover on my own.Currently, I still have a slight feeling of incomplete urination, occasional urinary frequency, poor deep sleep at night, cold feet, and dull pain in the left lower body. It's neurogenic, and I believe it will recover on its own. Stay relaxed, eliminate worries, engage in more outdoor cultural and sports activities, maintain a joyful spirit, and understand the benefits of ultraviolet exposure. Drinking more hot water will also help with recovery.
