Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating, it is said that it is due to prostate calcification. Is prostate 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, if it reappears, can easily lead to prostatic stones. Currently, in terms of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown better results than 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 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 herbal prescriptions to your specific constitution for faster improvement. Once the condition improves, it will not interfere with fertility. Prostatic calcification tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for management.
