Red light can treat prostatitis to some extent. And herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can help men get a cure.

1. Can it Really Treat
Prostatitis?
The Red Light Approach:
Wuhan Dr.Lee’ stCM Clinic

2. Many therapeutic devices are on
the market to treat the prostate,
but their effectiveness is
controversial. As a relatively hot
treatment device, is the efficacy of
physical red light good? Can it
treat prostatitis?

3. Red light therapy devices generally work
through the lower abdomen and utilize heat
production to relax the perineal muscles. The
red light therapy device may be useful in
restoring the relaxed pelvic floor muscles and,
therefore, may be useful for some of the
symptoms of prostatitis, such as pain and lower
abdominal sagging and bloating.

4. Most prostatitis cases refer to chronic non-
bacterial prostatitis, which is characterized by
some painful symptoms and urinary
abnormalities caused by excessive tension in
the pelvic and perineal muscles. These
symptoms include lower abdominal discomfort,
testicular pain, painful ejaculation, perineal
swelling, urinary frequency, urgency,
incomplete urination, and increased nighttime
urination.

5. These symptoms do not have much to do with
the prostate or prostate infections. However,
they are clinically thought to be related to poor
lifestyle habits, such as prolonged sedentary
behavior, staying up late, exertion, excessive
mental stress, alcohol consumption, and
exposure to cold. These factors can cause the
pelvic floor and perineal muscles to be too
tense, thus producing these clinical symptoms.
Hence, the main thing is alleviating this through
medication or physical therapy, relaxing the
pelvic floor and perineal muscles, or reducing
bladder overactivity.

6. From this point of
view, the red light
therapy
instrument, as a
means of
physical therapy,
may have a
certain role in
prostatitis.
However, you
must pay
attention to the
temperature and
time when using
it so as not to
cause damage to
the body.

7. It is also worth
noting that the
red light therapy
device is only an
aid and does not
entirely cure
prostatitis.
The treatment of prostatitis needs to be
based on its causes, which are
generally of two kinds:

8. Bacterial Prostatitis: This type of
inflammatory disease can be found
in large numbers of white blood
cells in the prostate fluid and is
treated with effective antibiotics
rather than counting on physical
therapy. Commonly used antibiotics
are quinolone antibiotics, such as
levofloxacin, cephalosporin, such
as cefaclor, and more novel
antibiotics, such as Fosfomycin.

9. Non-Bacterial Prostatitis: It is
mainly aseptic inflammation and
swelling in the prostate; treatment
includes alpha-blockers, such as
tamsulosin, to improve the
symptoms of pelvic floor pain; on
the other hand, it can also be
combined with traditional Chinese
medicine to relieve heat and induce
diuresis. Patients can also take the
patent medicine Diuretic and Anti-
inflammatory Pill.

10. The medicine is formulated with a
variety of herbs, with the main
effect of clearing away heat and
detoxifying the body, invigorating
blood circulation, promoting vitality,
relieving pain, and inducing diuresis
for treating stranguria; it can relieve
pain, eliminating inflammation, and
comprehensively regulate the
patient's urinary system, eliminate
the lesions from the root, and
restore the normal function of the
prostate.

11. The clinic believes prostatitis has much to do with the
patient's bad habits. Therefore, the treatment of prostatitis
is indispensable for general treatment, and patients should
do the following:

12. 1. Avoid holding urine: Holding
urine can overfill the bladder
and compress the prostate,
leading to poor blood flow,
congestion, and swelling, as
well as causing harm to the
kidneys and ureters.

13. 2. Avoid sitting for a long
time: Sedentary behavior is the
main cause of prostatitis.
Extended periods of riding a
bicycle or motorcycle, with the
seat repeatedly stimulating the
prostate, can also lead to
prostate congestion and
inflammation.

14. 3. Avoid smoking and
alcohol: Tobacco and alcohol have
stimulating effects on the prostate
and urethra. Heavy smoking and
alcohol can cause discomfort in
the perineum and congestion of
the prostate, which reduces the
prostate's ability to resist disease.

15. 4. Avoid cold: The prostate is afraid
of cold, and sustained cold
stimulation can lead to long-term
sympathetic nerve excitation, so
the smooth muscle contraction
results in prostatic duct
obstruction, causing prostatitis
aggravation.
