Patient's question:
Hello, I need to urinate several times less than ten minutes before going to sleep, and sex lasts less than a minute. Now I'm a little sore all over my body at midnight, and my fingers are also tired.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine for treatment, but for chronic prostatitis, TCM has more advantages. Since prostatitis is often caused by two factors—bacterial infection and a decline in the body's immune system—it is best to use TCM that addresses both issues. Bacteria can multiply to 200 generations within just 3 days, and often develop resistance to Western antibiotics within the same timeframe. Therefore, the selected TCM should be effective within 3 days.I suggest using Huakang Lixiang, as it works quickly. Additionally, from the perspective of TCM syndrome differentiation, the main patterns of prostatitis are damp-heat accumulation (91%) and blood stasis (84%), with many cases exhibiting both patterns. Huakang Lixiang is effective for both of these syndromes, so using it alone is sufficient. If you want to be more cautious, you can supplement with some antibiotics, but avoid broad-spectrum antibiotics. Conduct a drug sensitivity test and choose a sensitive antibiotic. Using Huakang Lixiang can also reduce its side effects.
