Patient's question:
Hello doctor, in May last year, I experienced symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria again. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it seemed to be prostatitis. The doctor kept prescribing medication for me, but now after taking Chinese medicine for a year for prostatitis, it hasn't been effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Now you are a patient with prostatitis. This disease cannot achieve satisfactory results simply by taking traditional Chinese medicine. It requires collaborative treatment. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, eat less spicy and greasy food, and also avoid getting cold. It is best to take Western medicine for treatment. You can take alpha-blockers and finasteride together for treatment, which needs to be taken for 2~3 months. Then, regular follow-up tests are necessary. The condition of prostatitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
