Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing frequent urination and urgency for the past year. Every time he goes to the bathroom, he has to wait to urinate. There are no other discomforts when urinating. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as prostatitis. Western medicine was prescribed, but he would like to try traditional Chinese medicine because it has fewer side effects. Hello, can prostatitis be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, prostatitis can be determined for TCM treatment. In clinical diagnosis, it is relatively common, so there is no need to be overly anxious or worried. Try to avoid overworking and (overtime), and eat less greasy, spicy, and extremely cold foods. In addition to these aspects, for prostatitis, coordinating with TCM treatment can effectively prevent the recurrence of the disease. Generally, the side effects are not significant.
