Patient's question:
Patient Gender: MaleDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Prostatitis
Duration of Current Illness: 10 years
Current General Condition: Back pain, fatigue, severe insomnia
Medical History: Bacterial prostatitis, lasting for 10 years. Visited multiple hospitals, with the condition improving and worsening intermittently.
Previous Diagnoses, Treatments, and Outcomes: All advanced equipment and treatment instruments have been used, and hospitalization treatment has also been administered.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The reason for drug resistance is not the commonly cited issue of the capsule outside the gland obstructing drug entry, but rather determined by the special structure within the gland. The gland is composed of numerous densely packed, interconnected acini and ducts. When urethritis persists without improvement, pathogens enter the gland from the posterior urethral prostatic part, causing inflammation, exudation, adhesion, hardening, fibrosis, and even calcification of the acini and ducts. What was once a highly protected organ has become a sanctuary for pathogens. Once the gland develops organic lesions, the difficulty of treatment becomes considerable. The key to treating bacterial prostatitis is to eliminate the pathogens. Some patients are simultaneously infected with chlamydia, mycoplasma, Staphylococcus aureus, and other pathogens, further increasing the difficulty of treatment. If the selected medication cannot completely clear the pathogens, using traditional Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation and treatment with common formulas like Bazi Zhengsan or Longdan Xiegan Tang will never effectively address the condition. While Western medicine treatment involves standardized genetic testing, drug sensitivity tests, and the administration of large amounts of antibiotics through oral, injection, and intravenous routes, pathogens that are sensitive to certain drugs in vitro may become resistant when inside the human body. Combined with the extensive misuse of antibiotics, pathogens have developed strong drug resistance. It is no wonder that some experts abroad exclaim: "In the 21st century, humanity faces the danger of antibiotic failure! The pace of antibiotic research by medical experts cannot keep up with the speed of bacterial resistance!"
