Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis in a regular hospital. The urology doctor of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed a prescription like Prostate No. 1, with a course of treatment costing 200 yuan. The method is to dissolve this medicine in hot water for a sit bath. I would like to ask if using this medicine for a sit bath is effective for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
From your situation, sitz baths can have some therapeutic effects on prostatitis. Some drugs can be refined through the skin. If it is acute bacterial prostatitis, it is recommended to adopt the principle of "fast on, fast off" with high-dose antibiotics. Specifically, it means using high-dose antibiotics in a timely manner in the early stage to control symptoms, and stopping the medication promptly once the symptoms improve. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their dietary care, primarily based on light foods, and avoid stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away prostatitis.
