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 is it better to treat prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Treatment Methods:(1) Moxa Needling: The patient lies in a supine position, and the Zhibian point is selected. After routine sterilization, a 150mm (diameter 0.4mm) moxa needle is chosen. Using the holding insertion method, the needle is twisted and inserted approximately 125–150mm. The needle is considered "gained qi" when the patient experiences a surging sensation or a sense of urination in the perineum. No needle retention is applied. The patient is then placed back in a supine position, and the Zhongji point, located 4 cun below the navel, is selected. A moxa needle is deeply inserted about 75mm, with the needle sensation extending toward the urethra. No needle retention is applied. The treatment is administered once daily.
(2) Herbal Ion Infusion: Take 50g of pu gong ying, 50g of que mai, 50g of shi wei, 50g of ru xiang, and 50g of mo ye. Boil the herbs to extract 250ml of liquid. Take 50ml of the decoction each time, warm it to 38°C, and retain it for enema. Place the negative electrode on the Qugu point and the positive electrode on the Zhong point. Connect to a low-frequency pulsed direct current ion infusion device.
