Patient's question:
When I went to the toilet recently, my testicles would hurt, and it took a long time to urinate with very little coming out. I couldn't sleep well at night, and I had to go to the toilet frequently. Later, I experienced pain in the perineum, groin, testicles, lumbar sacral area, lower abdomen, and pubic arch. My penis and urethra also felt weaker. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was prostatitis.What kind of help do you need: How can prostatitis be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The Western medicine treatment for prostatitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics, which is a common clinical approach for treating prostatitis. Typically, when Western medicine is used to treat patients with prostatodynia, this method is often adopted. Theoretically, antibiotics are effective only against acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis.The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for prostatodynia mainly employs methods such as regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. TCM believes that symptoms like lower back and leg weakness, lack of energy, and impaired sexual function are due to kidney deficiency, so treatment should focus on replenishing the kidneys.
