Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like there's a lack of strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this condition prostatitis? If so, please ask: How should the treatment be for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common and prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly men. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) advocates syndrome differentiation and treatment for targeted medication. The treatment methods for prostate hyperplasia have also undergone significant changes. In the past, Western medicine was commonly used to address symptoms caused by urinary obstruction, such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating. For example, transurethral laser therapy, microwave, and radiofrequency methods were frequently employed. However, these approaches only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, making them prone to recurrence.
