Patient's question:
At first, there was non-gonococcal urethritis. The non-gonococcal urethritis was cured, but then prostatitis started. I have been treating prostatitis for 3/4 months. I have been taking medication. The doctor asked me if my condition can be cured with traditional Chinese medicine. I used to smoke very little and drink alcohol rarely. Why is it still not getting better? What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be classified as an upper-heat and lower-cold syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood, and drink more water. Do not overwork or work overtime. Maintain a light diet and consider oral Chinese medicine for regulation, but it is best to consult in person. It is also recommended to soak your feet in a spice water with ginger slices daily, using slightly hot water. Avoid cold drinks and prevent strenuous exercise or overexertion. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results.
