Patient's question:
Hello, can you take Ginseng and Epimedium Capsules (health product) during the treatment of prostatitis? Will it have no side effects on men with prostatitis??Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, a 46-year-old male with prostatitis is wondering if he can take Panax Ginseng and Epimedium Capsules. Although most cases of prostatitis are often accompanied by kidney deficiency, for this patient, kidney tonification should only be gradually carried out while suppressing the prostatitis. If only kidney tonification is pursued, it may potentially exacerbate the inflammation of the prostate. Additionally, during the treatment of prostatitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
