Patient's question:
I have a history of illness. A month ago, after drinking alcohol, I experienced recurring bloating, pain, and frequent urination. I went to the Huichun City Hospital for a check-up, where the prostatic fluid test showed 1-2 white blood cells. The doctor prescribed Inflammation-Free Capsules and Longqing Capsules. Are they effective?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a disease caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation. The treatment of prostatitis is best achieved through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. First, use cephalosporin antibiotics for 7-14 days, and then use traditional Chinese medicine for consolidation therapy. The treatment of prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve a complete cure. During treatment, drink plenty of water, avoid sitting or riding for long periods, eat non-irritating foods, do not smoke or drink alcohol, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy: warm sitz bath. Pour about 40% of the water (not feeling hot when placing your hand in) into a basin, about half a basin is sufficient. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. Add a small amount of hot water when the water temperature drops to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
