Patient's question:
Is there a cheaper medication for chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by lower back pain, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction," "exertion-induced stranguria," and "cloudy sperm." It is further divided into conditions such as "heat-dampness stagnation," "yin deficiency with fire effulgence," "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 a complete cure. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-Treatment Plan:
1. Massage the sides of the urethra for 15–20 minutes daily, with intensity adjusted to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50–100 times each morning and evening, until a feeling of warmth and slight soreness in the anus is achieved.
3. In summer, apply a cold compress with a damp towel to the testicles, 2–3 times per night, until the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises, such as jogging for 10–15 minutes, until slight sweating occurs.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100–1,500 times.
