Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am a patient, and it has been 3 months. For the first two months, I took the Chinese herbal medicine capsules. Later, the check-up didn't improve and it worsened. This time, I added two medications: one is Amoxicillin for inflammation. If I need to be checked, how long should I wait before the check-up is more accurate? Please let me know. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostatitis treated with Western medicine take effect quickly, and symptoms can improve rapidly. However, after three days, bacteria can multiply for 200 generations and develop resistance. At this point, using antibiotics only leaves side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine generally takes longer to take effect. If you want to recover faster, use traditional Chinese medicine specifically for treating acute prostatitis, which takes effect within three days. Using both Chinese and Western medicine together speeds up recovery. You can use a large formula traditional Chinese medicine containing honeysuckle and mulberry, which works quickly, contains expert-designed antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, and can also boost the body's innate immunity while reducing the side effects of antibiotics and preventing recurrence.Western medicine improves symptoms quickly, but it does not address the root cause. Sometimes symptoms disappear, but test results remain abnormal. Therefore, relying solely on Western medicine is not advisable. Combining Chinese and Western medicine for both treating symptoms and addressing the root cause, and persisting in treatment, is the key to recovery.
