Patient's question:
What is the best traditional Chinese medicine for treating prostatitis? I have been suffering from this condition for a while, and Western medicine hasn't helped, along with some physical discomfort.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a special tissue structure outside the prostate that makes it difficult for drugs to penetrate into the prostate. Therefore, single drug treatment is not recommended. Generally, physical therapy combined with drug treatment is advised. You can try a warm sitz bath. I hope you actively treat it. The specific method is as follows: Pour water at around 40 degrees Celsius into a basin. Sit in the water for 10 to 30 minutes each time, keeping the water at an effective temperature. Do this once every two days. You can also add appropriate aromatic traditional Chinese medicines to the warm water to promote drug absorption and enhance efficacy. Additionally, it is best to use a sitz bath that protects the testicles. Consume fewer spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and reduce the chances of prostate congestion. Avoid holding urine for long periods.
