Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have prostatitis. I've been drinking it for over twenty days, and it has caused me to have diarrhea. The effect isn't good. One night, I suddenly felt a heavy, bloated sensation in my lower abdomen, as if my bladder was sinking and retracting inward. I also had diarrhea, and the stool was brownish water. Additionally, I experienced difficulty urinating. I'm also sensitive to cold, and using a hot water bag helps alleviate the discomfort. Currently, the symptoms fluctuate between mild and severe. When they're severe, I feel a heavy, bloated sensation in my lower abdomen as if there's trapped gas, and urination becomes difficult and sluggish. Before, I didn't have these symptoms. Could it be that drinking this herbal decoction has caused them?Doctor's answer:
From a clinical perspective, it is mainly considered related to Yang deficiency. It is recommended to promptly visit the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of a hospital for a detailed screening. If necessary, the medication can be adjusted accordingly to treat with the method of warming and tonifying the kidney Yang. Prostatitis is a condition that is not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating prostatitis and believe that recovery is attainable.
