Patient's question:
Got prostatitis, not very serious, how do Chinese medicine treat it?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of prostatitis is best approached through a combination of Western and Chinese medicine methods. First, antibiotics should be used for 7-14 days, followed by consolidation treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment of prostatitis requires a systematic and course-based approach to ensure a complete cure. During the treatment period, it is important to drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, refrain from consuming foods, and not smoke or drink alcohol. Maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a reputable hospital. In addition to medication, I would like to recommend a physical therapy: warm Sitz bath. Pour about 40% water (enough that your hand does not feel hot) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. When the water temperature drops, add a small amount of hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with a 10-day course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
