Current general condition:

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge from the urethra, accompanied by lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "hot-dampness stranguria," "exertion stranguria," and "cloudy semen." It is classified into conditions such as "heat-dampness obstruction," "yin deficiency with fire flaring," "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 observation 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 along both 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 before sleep, until a sensation of warmth and slight soreness in the anus is felt.
3. In summer, apply cold compresses 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 daily, 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.
