Prostatitis Prostatitis

Prostatitis can be acute or chronic, with bladder irritation, terminal haematuria and perineal pain being the main symptoms. Chronic prostatitis is characterised by delayed urination, post-micturition dribbling or post-dripping of white prostatic fluid and can lead to ejaculation, impotence, premature ejaculation and other symptoms of sexual dysfunction.

 Prostate disease is generally thought to pose four main dangers: damage to the kidneys, impaired fertility, sexual dysfunction and triggering cancer. For this reason, early treatment and complete elimination of the disease are of great importance.

Symptoms

  • Pain in the lower abdominal area

  • Burning and difficulty passing urine

  • Increasing urge to urinate

The treatment consists of a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The main acupuncture points are in the lower abdomen, lumbosacral area and distal end of the lower extremities. Acupuncture at these points can decongest local meridians and improve the flow of qi and blood, so that the prostate gland is fully supplied with qi and blood and its normal physiological function can be restored. Acupuncture can facilitate the passage of herbs through the lipid layer on the surface of the prostate, so that Chinese herbs can act effectively on the prostate.

Numerous clinical practices demonstrate that acupuncture can improve blood microcirculation. Disturbances in microcirculation can directly affect the blood supply and cause local stagnation of prostatitis. With the help of acupuncture, herbs / phytotherapy can also directly reach the sites of inflammation by improving microcirculation.
