Patient's question:
I used to have chronic prostatitis, and recently I've been experiencing frequent urination but it's not too severe. There's always a dull ache in the testicles. At night, around the time the day is about to break, I often wake up from my dreams because I need to urinate, maybe about twice. Then from the time the day breaks until I go to bed, I feel a constant sensation of needing to urinate. When I go to the bathroom, there's only a little urine. When I get back to bed, I still feel that urge to urinate. I've seen several doctors, some say I have kidney deficiency, others say it's chronic prostatitis, but the routine prostatic examination shows 4+ phospholipids and 5-6 white blood cells. What's going on with me? If it's chronic prostatitis, why don't the test results support it? Should I take medicine for kidney deficiency or for chronic prostatitis? I just found some information online, is this actually prostatodynia instead of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostate diseases: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, urine splitting, white discharge after urination, difficulty urinating, incomplete emptying of the bladder, a feeling of heaviness in the perineum, etc. I have a suggestion for you. If you have a prostate disease, it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treats the root cause and is less prone to recurrence. Western medicine usually provides quick relief, but the likelihood of recurrence increases over time. However, traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a drawback: it takes a longer time to see results. It is recommended to go to a regular specialized hospital for examination and treatment.
