Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: I have frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, and incomplete urination.Prostate examination shows pH: 7.0.
Microscopic examination shows white blood cells: 5-8
Microscopic examination shows RBC: 0
Leukocyte esterase: 4+
Now I feel very anxious. The medication seems to be ineffective.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: 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 a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by lower back pain, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "hot-dampness obstruction," "lumbago with dampness," and "cloudy semen." It is divided into conditions such as "heat-dampness stagnation," "yin deficiency with fire," "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 along both 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 in the morning and evening before bed, until you feel aching or warmth 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. In the morning, press your hands against your waist to stimulate kidney blood circulation, 100-1500 times being ideal.
