Patient's question:
Last month, when I started urinating, there was a slight pain in my penis. In these past few days, it's also itchy. After a thorough examination, it was found to be prostatitis. I don't really like taking Western medicine. Are there any Chinese herbal medicines for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, prostatitis may present with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria, as well as lower abdominal distension, pain, and a sense of fullness or heaviness. A careful examination of prostatic fluid may reveal an increase in lecithin or the presence of elevated white blood cells. In such cases, anti-inflammatory treatment is primarily recommended, along with increased fluid intake and more frequent urination. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used for treatment. It is advised to consult a doctor for pulse diagnosis to adjust the treatment based on the condition of kidney deficiency. Additionally, it is important to avoid unhealthy habits, such as consuming spicy foods and drinking beer.
