Patient's question:
My brother has benign prostatic hyperplasia. He is taking a folk remedy that includes amber, reishi spore powder, Panax notoginseng, and polygonum aviculare. Can these herbs be taken together?Doctor's answer:
In the case of the situation, it is unclear whether the folk remedy was collected by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or found online. If it was collected by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, it should not be a banned technique, and it must have been used by previous patients. If it was found online, it is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for advice. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
