Patient's question:
A 21-year-old male, usually quite busy with studies, feels his physical condition is quite good. The school organized a physical examination and discovered a problem. How is it treated to have benign prostatic hyperplasia with calcification?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that prostatic calcification and prostatitis share the same causes, both stemming from blood and qi stagnation and lower jiao damp-heat. Treatment should involve clearing damp-heat and promoting blood circulation to resolve stagnation, dissolving stones and facilitating their excretion. Fibrotic plaques will shed from the surface of the prostate and be expelled from the body. Herbal treatment fundamentally resolves inflammation and eliminates it, achieving the goal of preventing recurrence.Additionally, for benign prostatic hyperplasia, diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills are recommended. In daily life, attention should be paid to the following: avoid getting cold, completely abstain from alcohol, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, never hold urine, avoid overexertion, prevent prolonged sitting, and drink plenty of water.
In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in regular aerobic exercise to strengthen the body, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
