Patient's question:
I'm a homebody and don't have a girlfriend. I've always relied on masturbation to satisfy myself. Recently, I found out I have prostatitis. I don't fully understand this issue, and I'd like to consult a doctor about what to do if excessive masturbation leads to prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is essential to first break the habit of masturbation. Prostatitis is often related to damp-heat and kidney deficiency, and it requires treatments such as anti-inflammatory and kidney-tonifying measures, such as taking ofloxacin and azithromycin. If kidney deficiency is present, long-term nourishment with Six Flavor Rehmannia Pills or Jinkui Shenqi Pills can be taken. In daily life, it is also important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as to abstain from tobacco and alcohol, and to engage in appropriate physical exercise. Prostatitis tends to recur easily.
