Is Zang Yuan Wu Xing Moxibustion effective for prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Itching, scrotal dampness, incomplete urination

Doctor's answer:

Zang Yuan Wu Xing Moxibustion can be used as adjuvant therapy. 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 antibiotics for 7-14 days, 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 prolonged sitting or riding, do not eat foods, do not smoke or drink alcohol, and maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital. In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy: Warm Sitz Bath. Pour about 40% 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. When the water temperature drops, add a small amount of hot water 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.
