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 bit sore all over when I sleep in the middle of the night, 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—the best approach is to use TCM that addresses both issues. Bacteria can multiply to 200 generations within just 3 days, and they often develop resistance to Western medicine 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 a TCM perspective, the main patterns of prostatitis are damp-heat accumulation (91%) and blood stasis (84%). These two patterns often coexist, and Huakang Lixiang is effective for both. Thus, using only Huakang Lixiang is sufficient. If you want to be more cautious, you can add some antibiotics, but avoid broad-spectrum antibiotics. After conducting a drug sensitivity test, choose a sensitive antibiotic. Huakang Lixiang can also reduce the side effects of antibiotics.
