Prostatitis symptoms can generally be relieved through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments for prostatitis mainly include oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, and moxibustion. If you suffer from prostatitis, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and choose an appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine
For prostatitis with damp-heat stasis syndrome, you can follow the doctor's advice to use Chinese patent medicines such as Qianlie Shutong Capsules, Qianlie Longguantong Tablets, and Longqing Tablets. For prostatitis and kidney yang deficiency, drugs such as Jingui Shenqi Pills and Yougui Pills can be used. The main principles of traditional Chinese medicine for treating prostatitis are to clear away heat and remove dampness, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, warm the kidneys and assist yang.
2. Acupuncture
Guanyuan, Zhongji, Sanyinjiao, bladdershu and other acupoints are often selected for acupuncture treatment of prostatitis. Promote local blood circulation and improve prostate congestion by stimulating acupoints. Acupuncture should be performed by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, with treatments 2-3 times a week.
3. Massage
Traditional Chinese massage can improve blood circulation in the prostate by massaging the lumbosacral area and lower abdomen. Commonly used techniques include kneading, pushing, pressing, etc. Massage treatment is not suitable during the acute inflammation stage of the prostate, and massage should be performed by a professional physician.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and cleansing
When taking a sitz bath, you can add Chinese medicines such as cork bark, sophora flavescens, honeysuckle, etc. that have the effect of clearing away heat and promoting dampness. The water temperature is controlled at 38-40℃, 15-20 minutes each time. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation can help relieve perineal discomfort symptoms.
5. Moxibustion
Moxibustion on Shenque, Qihai, Guanyuan and other acupoints can warm and replenish kidney yang, and is suitable for patients with chronic prostatitis and kidney yang deficiency. Moxibustion should be done 2-3 times a week to avoid scalding the skin.
Patients with prostatitis should pay attention to keeping the perineum clean and dry during TCM treatment, and avoid prolonged sitting and cycling. The diet should be light and eat less spicy and irritating food. Maintaining good living habits and regular sexual life will help in the recovery of prostatitis. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical treatment promptly to evaluate whether you need to cooperate with western medical treatment.
