Patient's question:
Last month, I started feeling pain and discomfort in my testicles, and I've been needing to use the restroom frequently. It took a long time to slowly urinate, and it was painful while urinating. This week, I've been experiencing pain in the perineum, groin, testicles, lower back and sacrum, as well as the small abdomen and pubic bone. The penis and urethra are even more painful. After a careful examination, it was diagnosed as a prostatic cyst. Currently, I am 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 indicative of kidney deficiency, so treatment should focus on replenishing the kidneys.
