How should I treat prostatitis that has lasted for 5 years?

Patient's question:

I have had frequent urination for 5 years. The detailed examination of prostatic fluid showed 35% lecithin corpuscles and 2-3 white blood cells. Currently, I am taking Jin Bu Tong Lin Granules, You Gui Wan, and a prostatic patch. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) says that I have damp-heat causing lower damp-heat, which is not suitable for using You Gui Wan, so I have stopped taking it. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

You are at the age of growth and development, so it is best not to take medication and to strengthen exercise instead. Develop good living habits, maintain regular diet and rest, engage in more physical exercise to enhance your body's resistance. Avoid prolonged squatting or sitting, drink more water, and urinate frequently. It is best not to take medication casually. If the symptoms are significant, you can take Finasteride and Trazodone orally. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment from professional and regular hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol.
