Patient's question:
What are the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for prostatitis? I developed prostatitis due to excessive sexual activity. I always have frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty emptying the bladder. As a student, I have to go to the toilet several times during tutoring sessions, and I keep being mocked by my classmates. I'm afraid of the side effects of Western medicine and its interference with my future sexual ability. Can I take traditional Chinese medicine instead?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis often manifests as symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, weak urine flow, nocturia, lower back pain, lower abdominal pain, and many other symptoms. Chinese herbal medicines such as Pulegan Tablets, Qianmao Ping, and Qianmao Shule can be used for symptomatic treatment and conditioning. It is necessary to follow the doctor's guidance for anti-inflammatory treatment and relief of urinary symptoms based on the different conditions. It is also recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid prolonged sitting, exposure to cold, and overexertion, and to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
