According to traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of prostatitis are mostly irregular diet, excessive drinking or unclean sexual intercourse, which lead to endogenous dampness and heat that accumulate in the seminal chamber; or exogenous heat and toxins that accumulate and do not dissipate, flowing into the lower part of the body, causing stagnation of qi and blood, obstruction of the meridians, and poor bladder qi transformation, resulting in symptoms of stranguria; or excessive sexual intercourse, or forcing oneself to hold back, which leads to depletion of kidney essence, excessive yin and fire, and the rash movement of the phase fire, which induces dampness and heat in the lower part of the body and causes this disease.

The above introduces many kinds of traditional Chinese medicine treatments for prostatitis. These treatment methods must be dialectically analyzed in traditional Chinese medicine to get symptomatic treatment, so it is necessary to do dialectics in time. When treating yourself for prostatitis, you must also have enough patience. If you don’t have patience and confidence to treat yourself, then the recovery effect will not be good. You must live a reasonable life during treatment.
