A Chronic Prostatitis sufferer searching for Specialist Treatment Clinics is usually surprised to find that a large number of the Clinics available are in the PRC (People's Republic of China). What's the reason for this? And who would want to travel to a distant foreign country for treatment?
In my own personal experience, there's no question about it, once Chronic Prostatitis has settled in, the chances of a complete cure in a Western country are slim to none. As time passes and the hopes of a cure slowly fades, the hapless patient eventually starts looking for medical care in other countries of the world. And this is where China steps in with two types of medical care; the first is the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (also known as TCM). Simply put, it's a regime of mostly plant extracts which at the very best, may provide short-term relief for a Prostatitis patient, but it is unlikely to extend to a cure.
The second level of care on offer in a number of Clinics in China is intraprostatic injections of antibiotics and proprietary formulas. This delivery of antibiotics to exactly where they are needed makes a lot of sense. And it is this treatment method that has resulted in the lead that Chinese Clinics have in treating prostatitis.
While prostatitis sufferers who have not had the condition for more than several years are still working through the Western medical system, longer-term sufferers who have exhausted all Western treatment avenues gravitate towards the Chinese treatment as their last area of treatment hope.
However there are potential drawbacks. Has the Chronic Prostatitis Clinic you're reading about has prior successes? Can they provide contact details of Western patients who have had successful outcomes? Are they mostly using Western-technology medicines or are they dispensing TCM? Can they offer a full range of services including expert translators? Do they display details of their business registration and are those details current?
Delivery of effective medicines via injection to the prostate and surrounding glands and tissues has a great future, and that impetus is mostly being driven by Chinese Clinics. But, caution must be exercised by the patient in locating a Clinic of the highest standard. Find out more about this below.
