Patient's question:
During the routine physical examination at my workplace, it was found that I have prostatic calcification. However, I haven't felt any discomfort either. Since there is an issue, I still hope it can be treated. Could you please ask: How effective is the treatment for prostatic calcification?Doctor's answer:
For prostatic calcification, the main cause is the formation of scar tissue after the resolution of prostatic inflammation. This phenomenon can easily lead to prostatic stones if it occurs again. Currently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment is more effective than Western medicine and also prevents destructive damage to the prostate. From a TCM perspective, prostatic calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis in the prostate, 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, finding an experienced TCM practitioner to tailor the herbal prescription to your constitution will lead to faster improvement.
