Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: How to treat early-stage prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), prostatic calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis in the prostate area, as well as damp-heat in the lower burner. 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. For patients with prostatic calcification, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication while also paying close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
