Patient's question:
What are some Chinese herbal formulas for prostatitis? Can you recommend some? My dad currently has prostatitis, and the effect of the Western medicine he's taking seems to come and go. It's treating the symptoms but not the root cause, so I was thinking of trying some Chinese herbal formulas for him. I know the effect is slow, but regardless, it's better to get rid of it at the root.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a persistent condition for men, and once detected, it requires active treatment. The best approach is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, during the acute phase of symptoms, it is still recommended to use treatments with faster-acting medications. While taking medication, various physical therapy methods can also be employed. It is important to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently. The most effective approach is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which yields good results in treating prostate diseases.
