Rumor has it that licorice and honeysuckle can also treat prostatitis. Andrologists say it may be possible that these common Chinese medicines can be treated, but their use still needs to be cautious. The etiology of prostatitis is complex and individual differences are significant. The diagnosis of prostatitis requires the use of advanced diagnostic equipment, resulting in large self diagnostic errors. Liquorice is not unreasonable in treating prostate diseases, but it should be used in moderation, otherwise it will delay the condition and make it continue to develop. So can licorice really treat prostatitis?
The symptoms of prostatitis at the beginning are hard urination, thinner urine line, shorter range, and further drip urination. If the treatment is not timely, it will continue to develop. The bladder cannot empty urine, and residual urine will appear, which will lead to frequent urination at night. Sometimes patients may have acute urinary retention due to drinking, cooling, mental stimulation and other incentives. Timely treatment should be given to this disease when early urination is laborious to stop the progression of the condition and alleviate the patient's pain.
In recent years, we have used honeysuckle and raw licorice, each 60 to 90 grams, to decoct them into honeysuckle and licorice tea, which can be used as a substitute for tea drinks, to treat prostatitis. We have received good therapeutic results, with a total effective rate of 89 to 9%, and it is cost-effective. Patients or family members can independently control and carry out treatment, which is one of the best ways to treat this disease in family beds.
Liquorice contains glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid, and flavonoids (glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhizin). Glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid have anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic effects, which may be related to reducing the permeability of capillaries at the site of inflammation, and can reduce the responsiveness of local cells to stimulation; Flavonoids have an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle and are beneficial for anti-inflammatory urination. Honeysuckle contains chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid, flavonoids, honeysuckle glycosides, inositol, saponins, etc. It has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, can inhibit inflammatory exudation and proliferation, promote leukocyte phagocytosis, and has a significant therapeutic effect on prostatitis. If used in a timely manner to replace tea with frequent drinking, it can quickly relieve the pain of patients and promote recovery.
Licorice can indeed treat prostatitis, but it must be taken according to the doctor's diagnosis after diagnosis, otherwise it will have no effect. "And you must have a doctor determine your condition before taking medication, otherwise it can cause aggravation or delay in tiredness.".
