Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing pain during urination again when I go to the toilet to urinate, and sometimes blood is also present in the urine. After seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, they said it was prostatitis. I don't know how to correctly interpret this result. Prostatitis diagnosed by traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
You currently have symptoms of dysuria and hematuria, but this alone cannot confirm prostatitis. This could also be a case of a urinary tract infection. You should have a thorough examination of your urinalysis at the hospital, and also undergo a detailed ultrasound examination of the prostate. This can lead to a diagnosis, and after diagnosis, targeted treatment can be implemented. Currently, you should avoid spicy and irritating foods and drink more water.
