Internationally renowned guitarist John 5 (John William Lowery) recently revealed in an interview that he has long suffered from chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, describing it as “the most crippling, almost disabling condition” he has ever experienced. While John 5 has not used any specific herbal treatments, his disclosure has sparked widespread attention on social media, highlighting a health issue often overlooked by men worldwide.

For men, prostatitis is no longer just a private concern of middle-aged or older adults; it can significantly affect work, daily life, mood, and sexual function. At the same time, conventional Western medical treatments often show limited effectiveness for chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Against this backdrop, the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, a traditional Chinese herbal therapy, has gained attention among clinicians and patients. This herbal formula emphasizes fundamental improvement and holistic regulation, rather than merely relieving pain or inflammation.
Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis: A More Common "Hidden Pain" Than You Think
Prostatitis is one of the most common urinary problems among men under 50. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), there are approximately 2 million clinic visits related to prostatitis each year, over 90% of which are nonbacterial. Studies indicate that about 8.2% of men worldwide experience prostatitis symptoms at some point in their lives (PMC). However, without clear evidence of bacterial infection, patients often endure long-term pain and anxiety, struggling to find effective treatment.
Common symptoms include perineal heaviness, frequent and urgent urination, painful urination, sexual dysfunction, and depressive moods. Patients frequently visit clinics multiple times and undergo repeated tests, only to be told there is “no obvious infection” or that it’s “psychological,” leaving them trapped in a treatment dilemma.
Challenges of Western Medicine: Complex Mechanisms and High Recurrence
Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis remains a persistent challenge in male health. Common Western medical treatments include α-blockers, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, short courses of antibiotics (even in the absence of infection), and physical therapy such as pelvic floor exercises. However, these measures often fail to address the problem fundamentally.
The causes of nonbacterial prostatitis are highly complex. They involve not only local blood circulation in the prostate, nerve reflexes, and immune responses but also psychological stress, anxiety, and even gut health. Because the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, conventional treatments often target symptoms without addressing root causes, providing only temporary relief from pain or urinary discomfort.
Symptoms are diverse and recurrent. Patients often experience pain in the perineum, lower abdomen, or lower back, along with frequent urination, urgency, and sexual dysfunction. Many experience short-term improvement after treatment but quickly relapse, entering a vicious cycle of "treatment—temporary relief—recurrence."
Some patients delay seeking care due to the private nature of their symptoms, embarrassment, or the misconception that it is "normal aging," which can negatively impact both quality of life and mental health.
This challenge has increasingly led patients and clinicians to consider traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for holistic management, aiming to adjust the body's internal environment, improve circulation and inflammation, and fundamentally relieve symptoms while reducing recurrence.
Therefore, a treatment approach that emphasizes "fundamental improvement" and "holistic regulation," rather than merely pain relief or anti-inflammation, is particularly important.
Herbal Intervention: Holistic Advantages of the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill
According to TCM theory, prostatitis often falls under "damp-heat descending" and "qi stagnation with blood stasis", with the core pathogenesis being damp-heat accumulation, impaired qi and blood circulation, and glandular obstruction. The Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a herbal formulation developed based on the holistic principles of clearing heat and detoxifying, activating blood and removing stasis, and soothing the liver to regulate qi.
The formula works on multiple mechanisms and pathways, allowing patients—especially those unfamiliar with herbal medicine—to understand its effects:
1. Clearing Heat and Detoxifying, Promoting Urination
2. Activating Blood and Removing Stasis, Improving Microcirculation
3. Soothing the Liver and Regulating Pelvic Floor Muscle Tension
4. Modulating Immune and Inflammatory Responses
5. Multi-Dimensional Regulation and Reduced Recurrence
6. High Safety Profile and Suitability for Long-Term Use
Patient Case: David's Recovery in the UK
David H., a 38-year-old software engineer from Manchester, UK, began experiencing frequent urination, lower abdominal distension, and perineal heaviness two years ago due to prolonged sitting and chronic stress. Multiple tests showed no bacterial infection, and he was diagnosed with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis.
He initially tried antibiotics, painkillers, heat therapy, and physical therapy, but results were unsatisfactory. His symptoms persisted for over a year, almost leading to depression. Later, after learning about the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, he decided to try it.
After three months, urgency and pain were significantly reduced; six months later, his nocturia decreased from three times per night to less than once, and perineal discomfort from prolonged sitting nearly disappeared. Follow-up tests showed normal prostate fluid indicators. David said, "This medicine changed my life. I can work and sleep peacefully again, and my confidence is restored.”
While an individual case, similar improvements have been increasingly reported among users of the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.
Conclusion
John 5's experience highlights that chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is not a minor issue; it can affect men of any age. Persistent pain and recurrent episodes may not respond fully to single Western treatments. Herbal therapies like the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, offering holistic regulation, low side effects, and long-lasting efficacy, provide new hope to patients globally.
