Patient's question:
Recently, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I was told that I have prostatic calcification. Knowing why I developed prostatic calcification, I would like to understand how it can be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostate calcification. It is mainly caused by a scar tissue reaction after the recovery of prostatic inflammation. If this phenomenon recurs, it can easily lead to prostate stones. Currently, the treatment is more effective than Western medicine and also prevents destructive damage to the prostate. From a medical perspective, prostatic calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and scorching damp-heat in the prostate. The treatment requires the use of Chinese herbal formulas to remove damp-heat and promote blood circulation to resolve stasis. Generally, a treatment period of about two months is recommended. After that, it is advisable to consult an experienced traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner to tailor the herbal formula to your constitution, which will lead to a faster recovery.
