A few simple methods of treating urethritis with traditional Chinese medicine

Modern people adopt Western medicine treatment methods for any disease, because it is convenient and has quick effects, but it also has great side effects on the body. Compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine pays more attention to the word "nurturing". It has a slow effect, but the side effects on the body are very small. Today, the editor will talk to you about the Chinese medicine treatment of urethritis.

What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for urethritis?

1. Spleen and kidney deficiency type: The main symptoms are dribbling urine, which occurs when working, or there is white turbidity in the urethra, more leucorrhea in women, soreness of waist and knees, loose stools, pale tongue, and soft pulse. This is due to long-term illness and mistreatment, which hurts the spleen and kidney. The treatment should strengthen the spleen and kidney, and promote dampness and eliminate turbidity. The commonly used prescription is Sijunzi Decoction combined with Liuwei Dihuang Pills with additions and subtractions: Dangshen 10g, Huangqi 30g, Baizhu 10g, Fuling 30g, Yam 30g, Cornus 10g, Rehmannia glutinosa 10g, Zexie 10g, Moutan Bark 10g, Achyranthes bidentata 10g, Honeysuckle 30g. The ingredients of this prescription, such as Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Rhizoma Poriae, and Rhizoma Dioscoreae, all have the function of strengthening the spleen and benefiting the body; Fructus Corni and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata can nourish the kidney; Radix Eupatorii, Cortex Moutan, Rhizoma Cyathulae, and Rhizoma Lonicerae can benefit the body, promote blood circulation, and detoxify. For specific TCM treatment methods, you need to consult a specialist in a regular andrology hospital.

2. Qi and blood stasis type: Symptoms often include dribbling and unsmooth urination, or turbid discharge from the urethra, or abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal distension and pain, dark tongue, white fur, and stringy and thin pulse. This is due to long-term illness entering the meridians, or due to dampness and heat blocking the meridians, causing qi and blood stasis. The treatment should promote qi and blood circulation, dissolve turbidity and relieve pain. Commonly used medicines are Gexia Zhuyu Decoction with additions and subtractions: Angelica 10g, Chuanxiong 10g, Red Peony 10g, Peach Kernel 10g, Citrus aurantium 10g, Yuanhu 10g, Wulingzhi 10g, Wuyao 10g, Cyperus 10g, Achyranthes bidentata 10g, Smilax glabra 30g, Talc 20g, Raw Licorice 10g. If the urinary pain is obvious, 30g of Hedyotis diffusa and 10g of Lophatherum gracile can be added. Angelica, Chuanxiong, Red Peony Root, Peach Kernel, and Ophiopogon japonicus all have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, while Citrus aurantium, Corydalis, Wuyao, and Cyperus rotundus can regulate qi and relieve stagnation, while Smilax glabra, Talcum, and Raw Licorice can detoxify and promote diuresis.

3. Lower Jiao damp-heat type: This type is characterized by frequent and short urination, or yellow-white turbid discharge from the urethra. Women have genital itching, excessive vaginal discharge, and lower abdominal pain. Patients often have symptoms such as bitter and sticky mouth, abdominal distension, red tongue with yellow and greasy fur, and stringy and slippery pulse. This is due to the invasion of damp-heat toxic evil into the lower Jiao, poor bladder qi transformation, and inability to distinguish between clear secretion and turbidity. Treatment should be heat-clearing and damp-removing, detoxification and turbidity. Commonly used prescriptions are as follows: Acorus gramineus 20g, Plantago seed 10g, Phellodendron chinense 10g, Atractylodes macrocephala 10g, Salvia miltiorrhiza 30g, Lotus heart 10g, Saposhnikovia divaricata 30g, Honeysuckle vine 30g, Smilax glabra 30g, and Licorice root 10g. If the pain is obvious, add 30g of Hedyotis diffusa and 30g of Verbena; if the secretion is heavy, add 10g of Akebia and 1.0g of Herba Lycopodiellae. This prescription contains both Plantago and Lotus Seed Heart for clearing away heat and removing dampness, and Acorus calamus, Phellodendron, Herba Lycopodiellae, Rhizoma Lonicerae, Smilax glabra, and Licorice for detoxification and turbidity.
