Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I feel slightly better using Qingre Tonglin mixture for chronic prostatitis. Could you please tell me which aspect of the prostate this mixture primarily treats? Thank you!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
(1) Properly understand prostatitis; it is a common and frequently occurring condition, not an incurable disease.(2) Strengthen exercise. Exercise not only improves physical fitness but also significantly enhances the patient's mental state after physical activity.
(3) Abstain from alcohol and avoid spicy, irritating foods, though strict dietary restrictions are not recommended. It is advisable to consume more apples regularly.
(4) Promote regular and normal sexual activity; drink plenty of water before sexual activity, and both parties must urinate once after sexual activity.
(5) Avoid overexertion, colds, exposure to cold, holding urine, and prolonged cycling.
(6) Avoid prolonged sitting; if seated for more than two hours, stand and move around for 5–10 minutes.
(7) Maintain regular bowel movements.
(8) Persist in hot Sitz baths or applying hot packs to the perineum.
(9) Individuals with phimosis or paraphimosis should clean the foreskin daily and consider undergoing circumcision at an appropriate time.
