Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with prostatitis for the first time, and the initial examination results showed 10-15 white blood cells in the prostate, with phospholipid bodies present. Then, the doctor prescribed medication for a month, and after completing it, I had a follow-up examination. The white blood cells increased to 20-30, while the phospholipid bodies remained the same. Additionally, my premature ejaculation condition did not improve. So, I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor, who prescribed a 10-day herbal medicine course. As the medicine was almost finished, I still felt that my premature ejaculation had not improved. Now, neither me nor my wife can have sexual life together, which is causing us great pain. Can a doctor tell me a good method to treat prostatitis, such as taking medication, intravenous drip, or antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment? Because I see that the herbal decoctions prescribed by the TCM doctor are also for tonifying the kidneys, with ingredients like Rehmannia and Polygonatum. Now, I want to reduce the white blood cells in the prostate and increase the phospholipid bodies. Is it sufficient to just take tonifying herbs?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis-induced impotence and premature ejaculation require standardized treatment and strict correction of bad habits. If young people develop chronic prostatitis without obvious symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, or painful urination, or only have mild urinary frequency symptoms, it is best to undergo a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. If the prostatic fluid is not particularly severe, most cases can be self-cured through lifestyle adjustments. Young people must pay attention daily to avoid prolonged sitting, holding urine, drinking alcohol, eating spicy and stimulating foods, and to take care to prevent colds in winter. Sexual life should be regular, and physical exercise should be frequent. Because irregular sexual life can easily lead to prostatitis. Frequent sexual intercourse can cause repeated congestion of the prostate, which can also easily lead to secondary prostatitis.
