Patient's question:
Last year, I discovered blood in my semen with no other symptoms. Later, I received treatment at Changsha 163 Hospital for a week, and after a follow-up check-up, it improved. Upon returning home, I took Chinese herbal medicine for several months. Now, there are signs of recurrence. I haven't had sexual activity for a long time, and occasionally experience a slight discharge. I'm unsure whether it's a recurrence of prostatitis or a normal physiological phenomenon.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation may be symptomatic of prostatitis. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy can be adopted. Chinese medicine primarily focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying (e.g., Longqing Pian, Qingre Jiedu Jiaonang), while Western medicine can be used for anti-inflammatory effects (e.g., erythromycin, sparfloxacin), improving urinary symptoms (naftopidil), and may also include acupuncture and prostate massage. It is recommended to seek treatment at a local reputable hospital. Prostatitis is prone to recurrence, so it is important to drink more water and exercise regularly.
