Patient's question:
Every year, I have irregular health check-ups. In theory, I should never get this disease, but last month, I started experiencing increased nighttime urination, urgency, a narrowed urine stream, shorter urination duration, and difficulty urinating. The pain and discomfort primarily affect the perineum, groin, testicles, lumbar-sacral area, and pubic arch, with the penis and urethra being particularly weak. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed me with a prostatic cyst, and I am currently undergoing treatment.Doctor's answer:
The Western medicine treatment for prostatic cysts primarily involves antibiotic therapy, which is a common clinical method for treating prostatitis. Typically, patients with prostatodynia undergo Western medicine treatment, and many adopt this approach. Theoretically, antibiotics are effective only against acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis.The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for prostatodynia mainly employs methods such as regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. TCM believes that symptoms like lower back and leg weakness, lack of energy, and impaired sexual function are due to kidney deficiency, so treatments should focus on replenishing the kidneys.
