Patient's question:
Hello doctor, recently my prostate seems to have some issues. I frequently visit the bathroom, but always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. It's not just affecting my work, but also making me feel irritable. Even when I take naps during the day, I can't sleep well, and it's affecting my wife's sleep too. I decided to go to the hospital for a thorough treatment, but it's said that surgery is required.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is very helpful for prostatitis. Daily precautions for prostatitis patients:(1) Pay attention to hygiene, eliminate bad sexual habits, and moderately restrain sexual activity. 96
(2) Minimize pressure on the perineal area, such as avoiding tight pants and not riding bicycles for too long. 19
(3) Quit smoking and alcohol, and avoid spicy or irritating foods, such as chili, beef, seafood, and alcohol. 87
