Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:I have developed premature ejaculation now due to frequent masturbation in my youth, which lasts only three to five minutes. I visited the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor tested my prostatic fluid. The results were: white blood cells 1-3, and lecithin corpuscles 3+.
The doctor prescribed Chlorpromazine 50mg × 10 tablets and Compound Something Granules 10 packs. The handwriting on the prescription was hard to read. I haven’t experienced any discomfort overall, except for occasional dizziness and a stuffy head. I smoke and drink very little. Could you please advise if this treatment will work? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular region. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by symptoms like lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "hot-dampness stranguria," "exertion stranguria," and "cloudy sperm." It is classified into conditions such as "heat-dampness obstruction," "yin deficiency with fire flaring," "insufficient kidney yang," and "blood and Qi stagnation."However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital, combining clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to prescribe the appropriate treatment for effective recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-Treatment Plan:
1. Massage the sides of the urethra for 15–20 minutes daily, adjusting the intensity to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50–100 times each morning and evening before sleep, until you feel a sense of warmth and soreness in the anus.
3. In summer, apply cold compresses with a damp towel to the testicles, 2–3 times per night, ensuring the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises daily, such as jogging for 10–15 minutes, until you break a light sweat.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100–1,500 times.
