Patient's question:
I experienced prostatitis due to masturbation and have no history of sexual activity. The prostate fluid test showed: lecithin ++, white blood cells 17-20, red blood cells 0, neutrophils +, pH = 7.0. Could you please tell me which type of prostatitis I have—bacterial or non-bacterial?Doctor's answer:
Hello: You have, which can be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) based on syndrome differentiation. The main symptoms of prostatitis are: frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often white discharge from 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 internal heat, insufficient kidney yang, and blood stasis.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 time, in the morning and before bed, until you feel aching or warmth in the anus.
3. In summer, use a damp towel to cold compress the testicles, 2-3 times a 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 waist to stimulate kidney blood circulation, 100-1500 times being ideal.
