Patient's question:
During a routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my daily life. Since there is an issue, I still hope to be treated for it. Could you please tell me: How is prostatic calcification treated?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), prostate calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis in the prostate area, as well as damp-heat in the lower jiao. Treatment requires herbal formulas that clear damp-heat and promote blood circulation to resolve stasis. Generally, a treatment period of about two months is recommended. However, it is advisable to consult an experienced TCM practitioner who can tailor the herbal prescription to your specific constitution for faster improvement. Once the condition improves, it will not interfere with fertility. Prostate calcification can be alleviated, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
