Patient's question:
I am 18 years old. Due to long-term masturbation, I have developed abnormal prostate conditions and noticeable premature ejaculation symptoms.Prostate symptoms include urine splitting and thin urine flow.
The premature ejaculation symptoms are severe—almost unbearable for more than a few minutes.
I am very worried about my future life. I am young and cannot tell my family.
What should I do for self-treatment now?
If I implement a strict effort to (abstain from masturbation), avoid alcohol, smoking, and spicy foods, and persist in running every morning and doing push-ups every evening, will this help?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by lower back soreness, limpness, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "hot-dampness stranguria," "labor-induced stranguria," and "cloudy semen." It is further classified into conditions such as "heat-dampness obstruction," "yin deficiency with fire flaring," "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 treatment for effective recovery. 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 cold compresses with a damp towel to the testicles, 2–3 times per night, until the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises, such as jogging for 10–15 minutes, until you sweat slightly.
6. Each morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100–1,500 times.
