Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have suddenly experienced frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating recently. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have chronic prostatitis. The doctor prescribed medication and administered intravenous drips. However, I don't think the effect is very significant. I would like to consult on what methods I should take to effectively treat this condition, as I am currently in great pain.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is a very common (4% to 25%) and highly confusing disease. Up to 50% of men will experience symptoms of prostatitis at some point in their lives. Due to its etiology, pathological changes, clinical diagnostic symptoms, and impact on male fertility, it severely affects patients' quality of life, causing immense physical and mental distress. Herbal medicine treatment is recommended. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can differentiate symptoms and adjust treatments accordingly, using medications that target specific conditions. This approach can achieve the purpose of treatment. TCM treatment has significant advantages, as it can adjust treatment plans and modify prescriptions in response to changes in the condition, ensuring that medications are tailored to the specific symptoms.
