Patient's question:
I have mild prostatitis. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me, which contains ginger. But isn't it said that spicy food should be avoided?Doctor's answer:
Hello, treatment of prostatitis. Due to the physiological characteristics of the prostate, simple drug therapy often yields unsatisfactory results. A combined approach of drug therapy and physical therapy has achieved satisfactory clinical outcomes. That is, based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, sensitive medications should be selected, administered in adequate doses, and used according to a prescribed course of treatment. At the same time, selective physical methods such as microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multifunctional, and infusion should be combined.Treatment of prostatitis, in addition to drug therapy and physical therapy, self-care is also very important in both treatment and preventing recurrence. For example: abstain from smoking and alcohol, reduce consumption of spicy foods, prevent overexertion, engage in appropriate exercise, pay attention to keeping warm, and especially moderate sexual activity.
