It is a great challenge to find suitable treatments. One common treatment is to use antibiotics. However, it is believed that the prostate is hidden deeply in a position where antibiotics cannot reach and take effects easily. And drug resistance to antibiotics is commonly found. Thus herbal medicine is getting popular instead.
Herbal medicine is believed to be safe with fewer side effects, but to decoct herbal medicine correctly is a problem for many patients. As a result, a new product named Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill appears. Doctors say it keeps the curative effect of traditional herbal medicine and becomes more convenient to take.
