Patient's question:
Doctor. I've been feeling lower abdominal pain recently, and it also relieves when I go to the bathroom. Feeling very upset, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had prostatitis, prescribed medication, but it wasn't effective. Recently, I heard that maca has value. I want to know if maca is effective for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The patient experiences a dull pain in the lower abdomen, which is relieved when urinating. It is suspected to be caused by prostatitis. Prostatitis is primarily associated with transmission of pathogens, frequent sexual activity, and excessive sexual intercourse, which can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and pelvic and sacral pain. Prostatic fluid can be extracted for testing, and oral medications can be taken to stabilize the condition. Warm water sitz baths may also be helpful. Maca has little effect and is not recommended for use.
