Patient's question:
Prostate slightly enlarged, lower back and knee pain after activity, especially the knees, it becomes very painful after movement. The lower back has chronic pain. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches that the kidneys and bladder are mutually corresponding organs. The kidneys are considered the congenital foundation, and if kidney Qi fails to transform, the bladder's Qi transformation will be weak, leading to a recurrence of damp-heat stagnation in the bladder, such as lower back pain, urinary difficulties, and other symptoms. If the symptoms are pronounced, it is still recommended to first treat with traditional Chinese medicine. The specific treatment plan requires a doctor to take your pulse, examine your tongue, and pay attention to a light diet—avoiding spicy, greasy, and extremely cold foods, as well as staying up late. Prostate health can be restored, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment.
