Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis is divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. I started masturbating at the age of 16 and now have chronic prostatitis. The routine tests of my prostate are as follows:WBC: 2~3/Up
Lecithin: +++
Could the doctor determine what type I have? Do these test results indicate the severity of my prostatitis? Thank you! Currently, I am taking Prostamol tablets.
First follow-up question: Additional information: I am 29 years old, married. Currently, I sometimes experience damp scrotum, weakness in the lower back and knees, and sometimes aching pain in the perineum. After sexual activity, the pain becomes more pronounced.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is non-bacterial prostatitis, which can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on syndrome differentiation. The main symptoms of prostatitis are: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often white discharge in the urethra, and it may also include lower back pain, knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, or even hematuria and hematospermia. In TCM, it falls under the categories of hot-dampness obstruction, yin deficiency with fire effulgence, insufficient kidney yang, and blood and Qi stagnation.However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local TCM hospital, combine clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation), and take medication based on the specific symptoms to achieve a cure. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-treatment plan:
1. Massage the sides of the urethra for 15-20 minutes daily, with intensity adjusted to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50-100 times each morning and evening before sleep, until the anus feels warm and slightly sore.
3. In summer, use a damp towel to apply cold compresses 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 you sweat slightly.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, 100-1500 times being ideal.
