Patient's question:
The antibiotic medication was retested, and the results were still the same with no changes. After taking traditional Chinese medicine for another month, the retest results were still the same, with no significant changes at all—4+ results didn’t decrease either. However, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said the inflammation has already subsided. I really don’t know what to do. What’s important is that before and after the onset of the illness, I had no symptoms at all—no frequent urination or urgency. What kind of help I need: How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is challenging due to the complex structure of the prostate, which can easily lead to the reflux of infected urine into the prostate, causing repeated infections. Treatment requires a correct, standardized, and comprehensive evaluation. In addition to psychological adjustment and reducing mental stress, antibiotics, receptor antagonists, prostate massage therapy, hot Sitz baths, microwave therapy, biological therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine are methods that can be considered. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and avoid stimulating foods. Rest more!
