Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for some time and have been trying to find a permanent cure. I have been using Western medicine. A fellow patient told me that combining Western and Chinese medicine might be more effective. Could it be configured? Can the Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills be used? I have seen it is a regular medicine, but I don't know if it can be used or if it will have side effects.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into aseptic and bacterial types. Most men now suffer from it to some extent. However, it is difficult to cure completely. Treatment usually involves intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory purposes, combined with oral medications. During treatment, a light diet is recommended, avoiding drug use, prolonged sitting, overtime work, and encouraging regular activity. Prostatitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
