Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing pain during urination, and on some occasions, after finishing urination, there's white discharge coming from the urethral opening. I don't know what's wrong with it. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. However, I don't want to take Western medicine and would like to know how effective Chinese medicine treatment for prostatitis is?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of the issue of dripping white urine is indeed related to past years. It is essential to investigate and identify the specific cause of prostatitis for targeted treatment. The screening methods between the two are quite different. Although traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat prostatitis, the effectiveness is not very significant, especially during the acute phase of symptoms. It is still recommended to use Western medicine for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to drink more water, urinate frequently, and avoid sitting for long periods.
