Patient's question:
Prevention and Treatment Methods for ProstatitisDoctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as: frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by symptoms like lower back pain, weakness in the knees, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction," "exertion-induced stranguria," and "cloudy sperm." It is further classified into conditions such as:- Heat-dampness obstruction
- Yin deficiency with fire flaring up
- Insufficient kidney yang
- Stagnation of qi and blood
However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital, combining clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to prescribe the appropriate treatment for effective recovery. 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 sphincter contractions while standing, 50-100 times each morning and evening before sleep, until a sensation of warmth and slight discomfort 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. Each morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100-1500 times.
