Patient's question:
Last month, I went to the hospital to get a urinalysis and prostatic fluid test...The doctor said my prostatic fluid was normal
But I have symptoms of prostatitis
He prescribed me a box of "Lizhu Pharmaceutical's"
Telling me that if it works well, I can buy about 6 boxes as one course of treatment
I have now taken 3 boxes of the medication
The symptoms have basically disappeared
But sometimes I feel like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating
I heard that diuretics can be used in combination for treatment
Is it possible to add something when using suppositories?
Doctor's answer:
General treatment for prostatitis primarily involves medication, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Western medicine is effective in symptom relief, providing rapid improvement, but after three days, bacteria can easily develop resistance, rendering antibiotics ineffective except for their side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) generally takes longer to take effect. If you want faster recovery, use TCM specifically designed for acute prostatitis, which can show results within three days. Combining TCM and Western medicine can lead to quicker improvement. You can use a large TCM formula containing honeysuckle and mulberry, which works quickly due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, enhances the body's immune function, reduces the side effects of antibiotics, and prevents recurrent episodes.Western medicine improves symptoms rapidly, but it does not address the root cause. Sometimes symptoms disappear even when test results remain abnormal, so relying solely on Western medicine is not advisable. Combining TCM and Western medicine for both symptom relief and root treatment, along with persistent treatment, is the key to recovery.
