Patient's question:
Ultrasound result "epididymitis", ultrasound result "prostate calcification", symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, discomfort in the left abdomen, lower back pain, occasional post-micturition dull pain recently, epididymitis is a bit painful, mainly on the left side, no pain or discomfort on the right side, have been taking medication for 14 days, first 9 days: cefpodoxime dispersible tablets + levofloxacin dispersible tablets, next 5 days: cefpodoxime dispersible tablets + sparfloxacin dispersible tablets, but still a bit painful and uncomfortable. I want to switch to traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Can traditional Chinese medicine completely cure epididymitis and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
From your symptoms, it appears you have prostatitis, prostate calcification, and epididymitis. As for prostatitis alone, there are currently no effective Western medications available, and many symptom-relieving drugs are traditional Chinese medicines. In reality, the best approach for treating prostatitis is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is recommended to undergo a culture test to identify the cause, and once the cause is clear, actively cooperate with treatment. Additionally, it is advised to have a sperm quality analysis to check if your sperm has been affected in any way. We recommend contacting our hospital directly. We can assist patients in treatment through direct visits and remote consultations.
