Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating, it is said that it is prostatic calcification. Is prostatic calcification easy to treat? What is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
For prostatic calcification, the main cause is primarily due to a scar tissue reaction that occurs after the self-healing of prostatic inflammation. This phenomenon can easily lead to prostatic stones if it reappears. Currently, in terms of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown better results compared to 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 area, as well as damp-heat in the lower jiao. Treatment requires herbal formulas that focus on dispelling damp-heat and promoting 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. Prostatic calcification tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication for management.
