Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling is indescribable. It affects my work and life significantly, which is very frustrating. Is it easy to alleviate prostatic calcification? How is it best to alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for prostatic calcification, the main cause is primarily due to a scar tissue reaction that occurs after the resolution of prostatic inflammation. This phenomenon, if it reappears, can easily lead to prostatic stones. Currently, in terms of relief, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is more effective than Western medicine in providing relief 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 area, as well as damp-heat in the lower jiao. The treatment requires herbal formulas that clear damp-heat and promote blood circulation to resolve stasis. Generally, a period of relief is maintained after about two months of treatment. However, it is advisable to consult an experienced TCM practitioner who can tailor herbal formulas to your specific constitution for faster relief.
