Patient's question:
Slow for the past two years, I am now taking traditional Chinese medicine, and I see that it contains many ingredients for tonifying the kidney and boosting yang. However, some people online say that slow qi cannot tonify the kidney and boost yang. Is chronic prostatitis better treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Most patients with chronic prostatitis will have symptoms of kidney deficiency. It is necessary to treat prostatitis first, and then nourish the kidney deficiency. The treatment of prostatitis is comprehensive. In the early and middle stages, Western medicine treatment is generally required. After re-examination and complete recovery, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to stabilize the condition. At the same time, it is necessary to abstain from alcohol and avoid spicy foods, prevent overexertion, and engage in appropriate physical activity. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment cycle is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use the medication appropriately.
