Patient's question:
I have this disease (Prostatitis) for over 2 years. I have been diagnosed with it for 2 years. Previously, the symptoms were not very obvious, but recently I have been experiencing some mild lower abdominal pain and urinary pain. Some fellow patients have spent a lot, while others have spent thousands of yuan and basically recovered. I don't understand various treatment methods, and I am quite confused now. Please guide me, experts.Doctor's answer:
The treatment period for prostatitis is relatively long, requiring at least 2-3 months of medication. Some patients stop taking the medication once they feel their symptoms improve, leading to recurring relapses. Your condition is mild, and you can use traditional Chinese medicine alone for treatment to prevent potential damage to the liver and kidneys caused by long-term use of Western medicine. Taking traditional Chinese medicine with functions such as clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting diuresis, and relieving stranguria, such as Yinhuai Muyanlin tablets, can be effective. Ingredients like honeysuckle and plantain have a significant inhibitory effect on common pathogens causing prostatitis. Other ingredients like Lindera aggregata not only have antibacterial and diuretic effects but also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. They can dilate blood vessels, stabilize blood circulation around the affected area, help the medication work quickly on the lesion and surrounding tissues, and rapidly relieve symptoms. A 15-day course is recommended, and it is advisable to use three consecutive courses.
