Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis that hasn't been cured yet. What medications can be used to treat chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several medications available for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, including traditional Chinese medicines such as Qianmao Beixi, Miliqing, Longqing, and Longbishu. In traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of diseases emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the cause, rather than prescribing medications based on their names. For example, in cases of infectious prostatitis with purulent discharge from the prostate and urethral orifice, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. When treating prostatitis, it is essential to carefully examine the cause or apply syndrome differentiation and treatment to provide targeted care. Typically, a combined medication approach is adopted. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition tends to recur after treatment.
