Patient's question:
I heard that some traditional Chinese medicines have a good effect on treating prostate diseases and have minimal side effects. I currently suffer from prostatitis and want to take some traditional Chinese medicines orally for treatment. So, what are the traditional Chinese medicines for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of prostatitis, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be adopted. However, regardless of the treatment method used, it must be symptomatic, as only then will it be effective. The first step in treating prostatitis is to identify the type of prostatitis. In some cases, a drug sensitivity test may be necessary to determine the most sensitive medication. Additionally, some physical therapy methods can be used in conjunction to alleviate adverse symptoms. If Chinese medicine is to be used, it is essential to consult an experienced TCM practitioner for pulse diagnosis and treatment. It should be noted that there is a significant difference between Chinese and Western medicine in terms of screening.
