Patient's question:
My husband has a habit of holding back urine, so he now suffers from frequent urination and urgency. Moreover, during a thorough examination at the hospital recently, it was discovered that his prostate was inflamed. I thought this was very bad, so I asked my husband to undergo moxibustion for prostatitis. How is moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
Holding urine is an unhealthy habit that can certainly be detrimental to health. It may lead to inflammation and reverse transmission, such as urethritis, pyelonephritis, and recurrent prostatitis. In such cases, the above traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy measures can be effective, as they can expand local blood vessels, stabilize microcirculation, and enhance blood supply to local tissues. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle and adhere to treatment.
