Patient's question:
I have had chronic prostatitis for seven or eight years. Recently, it has been recurring frequently, with a white discharge at the end of urination, and I have been experiencing pain in my groin, perineum, and testicles. What should I do? Taking traditional Chinese medicine has not been very effective.Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are numerous methods for treating chronic prostatitis. Some patients, after treatment, see their leukocyte count in prostatic fluid drop to normal levels, and bacterial cultures turn from positive to negative, yet their subjective symptoms do not improve, leaving them still worried. Others abandon treatment as soon as their condition shows slight improvement, which is also the reason why chronic prostatitis is truly difficult to treat. Prostate massage, physical therapy, avoiding alcohol and spicy foods, and preventing prolonged cycling or sitting for long periods can also be implemented.
