Patient's question:
Currently, in general: I have had chronic prostatitis for over a year and currently have no special symptoms, just occasional leakage of secretions, without any other discomfort. Could you please ask the doctor if there are any affordable traditional Chinese medicine for regulation?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, and it may also include symptoms like lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, or even hematuria and hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction in the urinary tract," "exertion-induced stranguria," and "cloudy semen." It is further divided into conditions such as "heat-dampness stagnation," "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, combining clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to prescribe the appropriate medication for effective treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-Treatment Plan:
1. Massage the sides of the urethra for 15-20 minutes daily, adjusting the intensity to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50-100 times each morning and evening, until you feel a sensation of warmth and slight soreness in the anus.
3. In summer, apply a cold compress with a damp towel to the testicles 2-3 times per night, ensuring 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 break a light sweat.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100-1500 times.
