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 Chinese medicine for consolidation therapy. The treatment of prostatitis requires a systematic and course-based approach to achieve a complete cure. During the treatment period, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, refrain from consuming foods, do not smoke or drink alcohol, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy: warm Sitz bath. Pour about 40% of 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. Add a small amount of hot water when the water temperature drops to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
