Patient's question:
I have mild prostatitis. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me, which contains ginger. But isn't it said that spicy food should be avoided?Doctor's answer:
Hello, treatment of prostatitis. Due to the physiological characteristics of the prostate, purely drug-based treatment often yields unsatisfactory results. A combination of drug therapy and physical therapy has achieved satisfactory clinical outcomes. This involves selecting sensitive medications based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, administering them in adequate doses and following a prescribed course of treatment, while also selectively complementing these with physical methods such as: microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multifunctional, irrigation, etc.Treatment of prostatitis, in addition to drug and physical therapies, self-care is also very important for both treatment and preventing recurrence. For example: abstaining from smoking and alcohol, reducing the intake of spicy foods, avoiding overexertion, engaging in appropriate exercise, paying attention to warmth, especially practicing abstinence in sexual activity.
