In addition to taking medicine, there is also an operation with auxiliary functions - acupuncture. This ancient Chinese medicine technique has always played an essential role in health care, so how does acupuncture treat prostatitis?
 

Acupuncture therapy is a combination of the pointer method and moxibustion method.

Each point is moxibusted for 3 to 4 minutes, once a day or every other day. It can be used alternately with acupuncture.
 
For the treatment of chronic prostatitis with acupuncture and moxibustion, it is mainly to see whether the meridians are selected during the treatment. The treatment can only be carried out on the basis of choosing the correct meridians.
