    Patients with prostatitis can use moxibustion on abdominal acupoints, such as Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shenshu, Mingmen and other acupoints, which can relieve prostatitis. Once prostatitis is diagnosed, it is best to go to the urology department or andrology department of a regular medical institution for relevant examinations. On the premise of basic treatment, the doctor will determine whether it is suitable for moxibustion treatment after syndrome differentiation, and moxibustion can be combined for auxiliary treatment.

    1. Abdominal acupoints

    For example, the Zhongji point is located on the lower abdomen on the front midline of the human body, 4 inches in the middle of the navel. Guanyuan point is located 1.5 inches below the belly button, and 3 inches below the belly button is called Qihai point. The acupoints mentioned above are commonly used in clinical treatment of prostatitis. They can clear the lower burner, strengthen the spleen and nourish the kidney, and can effectively relieve the symptoms of prostatitis;

    2. Lumbosacral acupoints

    From the posterior acupoint, acupoints can be selected from the left and right, located on the second pair of posterior sacral holes on the sacrum. The other is that the Yaoyangguan point is located on the Du Vein, the body position is in the midline of the back of the waist, and there is a depression below the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra. In addition, the moxibustion Mingmen point is located at the lower edge of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. The Shenshu point is 1.5 inches to the left and 1.5 inches to the right next to the Mingmen point. The Shenshu point is 1.5 inches to the left and 1.5 inches to the right next to the Yaoyangguan point. Moxibustion on the above acupoints can be used as an auxiliary treatment for prostatitis, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and kidneys and clearing the lower energizer.

    After moxibustion, you must do a good job of keeping warm and cold, so as to avoid catching cold and affecting the effect of moxibustion. In addition, you should pay attention to the local temperature when performing moxibustion. You must rest more after a period of moxibustion. Do not continue moxibustion to cause burns. Moxibustion is best performed under the guidance of a professional physician.
