Patient's question:
My husband is already 46 years old this year. He was recently diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. We have been cooperating with the hospital for treatment and have used some imported medications, but they haven't been effective. My friend recommended the moxibustion treatment method, so I'd like to consult a bit about it—how is moxibustion for benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Moxibustion has effects such as soothing muscles and joints, promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and unblocking meridians, as well as health preservation and disease treatment. Depending on the specific condition, it can be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor to determine acupoints for moxibustion to treat the illness, which can achieve certain therapeutic effects.For those with prostatic diseases, it is also important to pay attention to rest, avoid exposure to cold, overexertion, and staying up late, while maintaining a balanced diet. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatment can be adjusted according to the condition, and herbal medicine treatment can also be considered.
In addition to medication for prostatic hyperplasia, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good therapeutic effects.
