Patient's question:
About a week ago, I experienced symptoms of frequent urination and urgency again. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me I had prostatitis and prescribed me many Western medicines. Then I felt that the side effects of Western medicines are generally quite significant, and I was worried that taking them might have an impact on my body. So, I wanted to ask about some Chinese herbal medicine formulas for treating prostatitis. Could you please tell me what Chinese herbal medicine formulas are used for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the patient first needs to consult their primary physician based on your thorough examination results. If the hospital's examination reveals bacterial prostatitis with significant inflammation, it is recommended to use a variety of Western medicine preparations, such as antibiotics, for treatment. Generally, it is advised to perform routine prostatic fluid tests and color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate. If the examination confirms chronic prostatitis, you can seek a diagnosis from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and then tailor the treatment based on your own constitution.
