    Chronic prostatitis lasts for a long time and causes long-term harm to men. There are many medicines for treating chronic prostatitis, but be sure to take them under the guidance of a doctor. So, what traditional Chinese medicine should be used to treat chronic prostatitis?

    There are various drugs for treating chronic prostatitis, the main categories are as follows:

    1. Antibiotics

    The most common first-line drug is antibiotics, but only about 5% of patients with chronic prostatitis have established bacterial infections.

    2. α-Blocker

    Alpha-blockers can relax the smooth muscles in the male prostate and bladder and improve lower urinary tract symptoms and pain, and therefore have become the basic medicine for the treatment of type II/type III prostatitis.

    3. Non-steroidal anti-infective analgesics

    First of all, for patients with chronic prostatitis, protein food is very important in the treatment of prostatitis. Protein is an important raw material for men to produce semen. It will be very beneficial for men to supplement more protein foods in their daily diet. Eat more fish, shrimp, lean pork, eggs and beans. It is best to boil, steam, roast, stir-fry, etc. when cooking to avoid nutritional damage caused by high temperatures.

    Moreover, patients with chronic prostatitis should take a balanced intake of various vitamins. Vitamin D can promote the production of proteins, accelerate the rate of cell division and stimulate the growth of new cells; vitamin C has anti-disease and detoxifying effects and can improve the body's immune system; vitamin E can regulate the effects of sex hormones and increase sperm motility. This vitamin is commonly found in green leafy vegetables, fruits, protein foods, edible oils and other foods.
