Patient's question:
Before, I was carefully tested positive for ureaplasma, but after treatment, the retest was negative. However, I still have symptoms of burning at the glans and slight swelling at the urethral meatus. I took some anti-inflammatory medications (Renlinqing and garlic capsules) during this period, which seemed to have some effect. Later, after drinking alcohol, the symptoms worsened. I had another careful check-up for the prostate, which initially showed a slight amount of white blood cells, with other tests normal, and no pathogenic bacteria cultured. After taking Chinese medicine for two weeks, the condition worsened, with white blood cells at 1+ and lecithin at 2+. I don’t know what my situation is. Urinalysis results have been normal on several occasions. Is it chronic urethritis or prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms, considering your age, you can decide to implement acupuncture at Guanyuan point based on your actual situation, or decide to implement acupuncture treatment. Alcohol and meat are sources of damp-heat. Prostatitis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding the principle of treating the symptoms. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
