[손기정 일중한의원 원장] Among the numerous diseases, the one with the highest number of chronic patients is prostatitis. There are many patients who suffer for more than 10 years because they are not well cured, and many suffer from long-term illness, which is accompanied by loss of self-confidence and depression, or to the point where work or family life is ruined. there is. It forces men into suffering for a long period of time during their youth when they are at the peak of their social activities.
The main reason why prostatitis progresses chronically is that the prostate tissue itself has a special structure and does not respond properly to drugs such as antibiotics or urinants. Because of the histological characteristics of the prostate, which consists of microscopic tubes (prostatic ducts), antibiotics do not penetrate well into the tissue. Also, there is no cure other than antibiotics.
Ki-Jeong Son, Director of Japan-China Oriental Medicine Clinic There is also a vicious cycle in which antibiotics are taken repeatedly, resulting in resistance and weakened response to the drugs. Antibiotics are important life-saving drugs, but if taken excessively in situations where they are not absolutely necessary, they kill both good and bad bacteria in our bodies. Bacteria under pressure to survive exchange genetic material, evolve, and gain the ability to decompose or avoid antibiotics to become stronger. This is a situation where resistance to antibiotics arises. As antibiotics are used excessively, the number of resistant bacteria inevitably increases, and as resistance increases, our bodies are exposed to bacteria defenselessly. Antibiotic resistance is also an important issue for patients with chronic prostatitis who repeatedly relapse. Of course, if you are diagnosed with early stage acute bacterial prostatitis, you must receive antibiotic treatment. At this time, it is important to properly take the prescribed antibiotics until the end. Treatment must be carried out until the bacteria are destroyed. Sometimes, if symptoms improve after taking the drug for 2-3 days, people neglect or postpone taking the drug. If the initial treatment is neglected, recurrence and repeated antibiotic treatment are inevitable. They suffer from long-term pain, and antibiotic treatment is no longer effective, so they end up visiting several hospitals. It is estimated that these patients account for 80-90% of all chronic prostatitis patients, and many patients visit the hospital after repeated inquiries because they cannot endure it.
Patients with chronic prostatitis cannot be resolved by simply taking antibiotics. Complex treatment including anti-inflammatory and drainage effects, recovery of urinary function, and improvement of kidney and bladder function is required. ‘Gami Paejangjihwang-tang (加味敗醬地黃湯)’, also known as Iljungeum (加味敗醬地黃湯), is a basic prescription called Yukmijihwang-tang (六味地黃湯), which is effective in improving the function of the kidneys, and honeysuckle flowers (Honeysuckle), which reduce fever and have strong anti-inflammatory and drainage effects. ), the gastrocnemius muscle, and pure herbal medicines such as Pogongyeong, Moktong, and Psyllium that strengthen the urinary excretion function are used.
Its effectiveness was verified through a clinical paper showing that the total symptom index of chronic prostatitis from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) was significantly reduced from an average of 35 points before treatment to 6 points after treatment. Helping. Above all, the encouraging treatment results are that there was no recurrence or worsening of symptoms as a result of individual follow-up on the patients’ prognosis.
Once again, we emphasize that recurrence occurs repeatedly and it becomes difficult to cure old prostatitis with antibiotics alone. Rather, it can increase resistance and make treatment difficult. The only way to prevent recurrence of chronic prostatitis is to fundamentally resolve the complex causes instead of using antibiotics.
