Prostatitis: Why Can't It Be Simply Treated with Kidney Tonics and Strengthening Yang?

Many prostatitis patients will ask this question: doctor, my sexual ability has declined; can I take kidney tonic and aphrodisiac drugs? For every male, when there is a problem with sexual function, even the slightest problem is a big problem. Therefore, the first thing that comes to mind when this problem occurs in prostatitis patients is to tonify the kidneys and strengthen Yang. 

So, can these drugs cure prostatitis? The answer is definitely no! Let's do a detailed analysis below.

Prostatitis is not equal to kidney deficiency; they are different diseases, and there is no necessary connection. The former is a genitourinary disease, mainly due to inflammation of the prostate tissue. Inflammation stimulation will cause frequent urination and painful urination, as well as perineal pain and discomfort, as well as symptoms such as white liquid at the urethral opening and incomplete urination. 

Kidney deficiency is mainly due to too frequent sex life, which will cause general weakness, dizziness, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, low sexual function, spermatorrhea, and so on. Therefore, the treatment of prostatitis can not rely on a kidney tonic.

Prostatitis is likely to cause problems with the patient's sexual function. This is because the aggravation of the inflammatory infection may lead to abnormalities in the localized nerve sensitivity of the penis, thus causing premature ejaculation. In addition, because prostatitis can cause pain in sexual intercourse, ejaculation pain, and other symptoms, it usually makes men exist in fear of psychology, in the sexual life will also appear mental psychological impotence. 

However, prostatitis patients are not recommended to take aphrodisiac drugs indiscriminately. 

First of all, for patients, the treatment of inflammation is the priority. In the process of treatment, patients also need to control sexual activity to avoid too frequent sexual activity as well as sexual activity for too long, resulting in prolonged bruising of the perineum, thus aggravating the swelling of the prostate. Secondly, some drugs may aggravate prostatitis, so it is not recommended to take them indiscriminately.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that prostatitis has different pathologies, such as a downward flow of damp heat, qi stagnation and blood stasis, liver-qi depression, dysfunction of the spleen in transport, impaired depurative down bearing of the lung, deficiency of the kidney-qi, etc. The pathological evolution begins with damp heat pouring downward, followed by the spleen's failure to transport, with the entire disease process characterized by the accumulation of damp heat in the lower burner and seminal chamber.

Therefore, it is rare to see people with simple deficiency of the spleen and kidney in clinical practice, which determines that the treatment of chronic prostatitis should be carried out by clearing away heat and detoxifying the body, inducing dampness and removing turbidity, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, instead of blindly tonifying the kidney and strengthening the Yang. Therefore, patients can choose Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to regulate the genitourinary system, eliminate inflammation, and restore the normal function of the prostate.

In addition, once the symptoms of prostatitis appear, men need to go to the urology department of the hospital in time to do an ultrasound examination as well as prostate fluid examination, and then take timely symptomatic treatment. It can be treated by oral antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, azithromycin, etc. 

At the same time, warm sitz baths and regular prostate massage in the hospital can also achieve a better therapeutic effect. In addition, patients should also develop good habits in life, such as drinking more water, urinating more, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, avoiding staying up late, exercising more, and enhancing the body's immunity.

In a word, men should not think that prostatitis is a kidney deficiency. There are a lot of men with prostatitis who think that they have weak kidneys and blindly go to the pharmacy to buy drugs and supplements to take. The sexual dysfunction caused by prostatitis is attributed to the relationship with one's kidneys, and trying to blindly improve it by taking supplements as well as aphrodisiacs is not going to work. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid delaying the good treatment time.
