Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a lack of sexual function, premature ejaculation, and went to the hospital for a thorough examination of erectile dysfunction. After the examination, the doctor said it was chronic prostatitis. After using it for a month, it had a slightly effective result. When I went for a follow-up examination, the doctor asked me to use it for another month. So far, I have limited financial ability, especially the 28-bitter orange pills are expensive. Moreover, two of these three medications are prescription drugs, and I cannot buy them myself. Could you please give me some advice? Are there any over-the-counter medications that can replace the two prescription drugs?Doctor's answer:
My suggestion is to conduct a prostatic fluid culture test to determine whether it is bacterial prostatitis or non-bacterial prostatitis. Based on the results, appropriate antibiotics can be decided, while traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning, such as Qian Mao Shutong, which are all suitable. Male diseases tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the test results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
