Patient's question:
I have had chronic prostatitis for a year and have been taking medication for a year. Will it be harmful to the liver and kidneys? I am very worried that long-term use of this traditional Chinese medicine will damage the liver and kidneys.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis may cause recurring symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, urine splitting, and burning or painful sensations. Therefore, it is recommended to drink plenty of plain water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, engage in regular physical exercise to strengthen the body, and take warm baths. Generally, the condition tends to stabilize, but prostatitis often recurs, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to moderate sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
