TCM (Chinese Herbal Medicine) in Prostatitis Treatment

Interaction with Antibiotics

There has been some misunderstanding and worry on the interaction of herbal and antibiotics. The misunderstand is on the potential adverse interaction between herb and antibiotics during prostatitis treatment.

This is a popular view among western urologists who have little or none knowledge about Chinese herbal medicine.

The use of both Chinese herbal medicine and western medicine to treat various kinds of diseases has a long history dated back to more than 150 years ago when western medicine first entered China.

The interaction between Chinese herbal and antibiotics on prostatitis is positive. Chinese herbal clean up debris blocking the prostate glands while antibiotics kills off bacteria along the way and stop them from producing more debris. This is a perfect synergy of the two kinds of eastern and western medicine.

It is imperative that Chinese herbal and antibiotics work hand in hand in our prostatitis treatment. Deficiency of either one significantly reduce the chance of a cure.
