Patient's question:
What is prostatitis? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The main symptoms of prostatitis are: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by lower back pain, limpness, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. A prostatic fluid examination can confirm the diagnosis. In traditional Chinese medicine, it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction," "lao-lin," and "jing-zhuo." It is divided into: "heat-dampness obstruction syndrome," "yin deficiency with fire hyperactivity syndrome," "kidney yang deficiency syndrome," and "blood and qi stagnation syndrome," etc.However, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital, combining clinical observations and the four diagnostic methods to prescribe the right treatment for a complete cure. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-treatment plan:
1. Massage along both sides of the urethra for 15-20 minutes daily, with intensity adjusted to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50-100 times each morning and evening before sleep, until a feeling of warmth and slight soreness in the anus is achieved.
3. In summer, use a damp towel to apply cold compresses to the testicles, 2-3 times per night, until the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises daily, such as jogging for 10-15 minutes, until slight sweating occurs.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100-1500 times.
