Urethritis is a common disease. Acute urethritis is caused by a sudden bacterial infection in the urethra, usually from intestinal bacteria (such as large intestine bacilli). Symptoms include urgency, pain during urination, frequent desire to urinate but with little urine output, and in severe cases, hematuria. If the infection spreads to the bladder, there may be lower abdominal pain; if it reaches the kidneys, symptoms like fever, chills, and lumbago may occur. It is more common in women, the elderly, patients with chronic sexually transmitted diseases, and those with poor immunity. If not treated for a long time, bacteria may persist in the kidneys, urinary tract, or prostate, leading to chronic urethritis.

The only tool modern medicine has for treating urethritis is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, with no other alternatives.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a more nuanced approach, with the general principles being to tonify the body, eliminate pathogens, and promote circulation:

• Tonifying the body: This refers to strengthening the patient's healthy qi, a unique approach in TCM that modern medicine lacks. Patients prone to bacterial infections in the urethra often have compromised immunity, especially those with recurrent infections. TCM's "tonifying the body" aims to boost the patient's functions and enhance their immunity to fight bacteria. Whether a patient is weak or not can be determined through the Four Diagnostic Methods. Once the patient's physical strength and immunity are restored, they are less likely to fall ill again.
• Eliminating pathogens: Pathogens refer to pathogenic qi, i.e., bacteria. Eliminating pathogens means inhibiting or killing the bacteria infecting the urethra. This requires the use of heat-clearing and toxin-removing medicinals. TCM developed natural broad-spectrum antibiotics hundreds of years ago, which are non-resistant and have minimal toxic side effects. These are still widely used in clinical practice today with excellent results.
• Promoting circulation: The affected area of urethritis is prone to swelling, pain, and even bleeding. TCM has long developed a variety of natural, non-toxic Chinese medicinals that can improve blood and qi circulation, relieve pain, and stop bleeding in the affected area.

If acute urethritis is treated with modern medicine, the only option is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients with a strong constitution usually recover without recurrence; however, those with a weak constitution may temporarily recover, but their already frail body, further weakened by the damage from urethritis and the toxicity of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, becomes more susceptible to reinfection, eventually leading to chronic urethritis.

If treated with TCM, since TCM takes into account the patient's constitution and physical strength, it not only eliminates bacteria but also supports the patient's healthy qi. The medications used are natural and have no toxic side effects, making it less likely for the patient to relapse after recovery.

The site of bacterial infection is like a battlefield, and the affected area of chronic urethritis resembles a quagmire of war. Here, the battle between white blood cells and bacteria is deadlocked. Due to the prolonged struggle, the affected area inevitably accumulates a large amount of metabolic waste, toxins, and the corpses of bacteria and white blood cells. The tissue in the affected area is damaged by bacteria, leading to poor circulation, which further hampers the delivery of immunity and nutrients. This vicious cycle makes it difficult to recover. TCM not only replenishes the patient's physical strength and boosts their immunity but also excels in clearing blockages in the affected area, allowing metabolic waste and toxins to be carried away by circulation. This ensures a continuous supply of immune forces to the affected area, ultimately defeating the bacteria.

If you initially had acute urethritis and, after multiple treatments with modern medicine, it has turned into chronic urethritis, please abandon modern medicine treatment immediately and switch to TCM. Modern medicine has not yet reached the level of "tonifying the body" and "promoting circulation." If you continue to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, your body will only grow weaker, and you will inevitably develop multiple illnesses. Only TCM can cure you. Find the right TCM physician, and whether it's acute or chronic urethritis, you can recover quickly in a short time, far more effectively and rapidly than with modern medicine.

Drink enough water daily, avoid grilled, spicy, and irritating foods, do not hold in urine, and maintain good lifestyle and hygiene habits to prevent recurrence.
