Patient's question:
Prostatitis treatment has been ongoing for four months now, and I am currently only taking Chinese herbal granules. Previously, I took antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine, but now I am only consuming granules. The symptoms keep recurring, and the pain is unbearable. Is there any way to quickly return to normal?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is best approached through a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. First, antibiotics should be used for 7 to 14 days, followed by the stabilization of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment of prostatitis requires a systematic and course-based approach to achieve complete self-healing.Recommendations:
- Drink plenty of water during treatment.
- Avoid prolonged sitting or riding.
- Do not consume foods.
- Do not smoke or drink beer.
- Maintain a regular sexual life.
- It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital.
For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
