Patient's question:
Urine retention, incomplete emptying, weak stream, and splitting. Sexual function has declined, lasting approximately one year. Test results: Sperm agglutinates ++, granulocytes 2-3, white blood cells++. Prostate: Transverse diameter 4.3 x 3.8 x 3.2 cm, heterogeneous echo, internal scattered slightly stronger and weaker echoes, middle lobe not extending into the bladder. MRI suggests: Enlarged prostate, heterogeneous echo, internal scattered slightly stronger and weaker echoes. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment, believed to be due to age-related changes. Desired assistance: Already booked an appointment for Thursday this week to visit your hospital for consultation. I would like to know in advance the difficulty and potential outcomes of the surgery. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The situation is understood. This condition is primarily caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, where the spleen fails to function properly, unable to transport food and fluids, leading to the symptoms mentioned above; and insufficient kidney essence, unable to nourish, also contributing to the symptoms. Factors such as a preference for spicy foods, emotional distress, overexertion, and staying up late can either trigger or alleviate the condition.Recommendations:
It is recommended to adopt conservative treatment. You can take Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan (Golden Lock Firm Essence Pill), Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney Qi Strengthening Pill), and Bao He Wan (Harmonizing Stomach Pill). Avoid spicy foods and maintain a light diet. You can consume more Chinese yam and jujubes, drink plenty of water, and eat more fruits, which will help stabilize your symptoms.
In addition to timely treatment for the prostate, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
