Western medicine often takes the form of drug treatment, the use of antibacterial drugs, such as ciprofloxacin, cephalosporin, etc.; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as celecoxib and so on. If the patient is accompanied by urethral obstruction, surgical treatment is required. Traditional Chinese medicine is also effective in treating prostatitis. Chinese medicines are often used to clear heat and detoxify the body (removing heat and toxins from the body), cool the blood and clear the lymphatic system, such as retention of urine clearing tablets and Bazheng capsule. A small number of patients may experience nausea, stomach and epigastric distension, loss of appetite and other adverse reactions. Contraindications for gonorrhea (increased frequency of urination, dribbling and astringent pain) belong to the liver depression and stagnation of qi, or spleen and kidney deficiency, bladder qi not running, as well as liver depression and stagnation of qi, spleen deficiency and qi sinking, kidney yang exhaustion, kidney yin deficiency caused by urinary obstruction (urine dripping or urinating) should not be used to use the drug.
