Can Acupuncture Treat Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis?

Due to the special physiological position and anatomical relationship of prostate, the effect of clinical anti-inflammatory is often not ideal. And many pieces of research had found that acupuncture has a unique and significant curative effect in the \treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis.

The mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic prostatitis may be as follows:

1. Regulate the internal secretion of the body and promote tissue repair

Acupuncture stimulates the peripheral nerve impulses of the acupoint receptors on the surface of the body. The impulses reach the central nervous system along the afferent nerve and the dorsal root of the spinal nerve. After the impulses are integrated, they reach the adrenal medulla through the sympathetic nerve, stimulate the tissue to release catecholamine, and play the role of inhibiting the permeability of blood vessels, improving tissue edema and inflammatory exudation.

2. Stimulation on the body

By stimulating the surface part of the body, acupuncture can make the body interact with the nerves that control the prostate and other organs, so as to regulate the neuroendocrine function, reduce the excitability of sympathetic nerve and pudendal nerve, so as to improve the spasm state of the pelvic floor muscles, relieve pain, reduce the pressure of the sphincter of the urethra, so that the function of the detrusor tends to be coordinated.

Therefore, the frequency of the sphincter of the urethra Symptoms of functional urethral obstruction caused by over contraction, such as the urgency of urination, frequency of urination can also be promoted.

3. Affect the immune system and regulate the local immune function

Part of the hidden antigens in the prostate produces autoimmune response and lead to prostatitis, and the corresponding neurotransmitters in the spinal cord and brain also play a role. However, acupuncture affects the levels of immunoglobulin, interleukin, tumor necrosis factor, and other cytokines in the local gland so as to play a two-way benign regulatory role in the immune response of the gland.

4. Improve local blood circulation and accelerate tissue metabolism

Acupuncture increases local blood flow of the prostate, reduces local Inflammation and edema.

From the above, acupuncture plays a therapeutic role in chronic bacterial prostatitis by regulating nerves and stimulating local areas. However, the effect of this method is limited, mainly auxiliary. Patients can take acupuncture and moxibustion in combination with herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for a great curative effect.

Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill contains kinds of herbal ingredients, such as Houttuynia cordata, gardenia, forsythia, honeysuckle, that have the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. They can effectively kill all kinds of bacteria, viruses, pathogens, and make mycoplasma, chlamydia, gonorrhea turn negative and eliminate Inflammation.

For patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, the symptoms of lower urinary tract infection, such as frequent and urgent urination, discomfort in the posterior urethra, anus, and perineum, can also be effectively eliminated. In addition, the functions of anti-proliferation, anti calcification, and clearing the glands can prevent the calcification and blockage of the glands of the prostate caused by chronic bacterial prostatitis.

Moreover, it can also help the patients to adjust their internal environment, and improve their immunity, so as to achieve the effect of radical cure.
