Patient's question:
I am very careful about food hygiene in my daily life, and I would never eat unsanitary food in the first place. However, recently I don't know if I ate something wrong, and I've been feeling very uncomfortable when urinating. So I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said this is due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. I really want to get my problem treated as soon as possible. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
1. Damp-heat accumulation syndrome.2. Spleen and kidney qi deficiency syndrome. Medication: Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction. Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, and Licorice invigorate qi and tonify the spleen. Chenpi regulates qi to assist qi movement. Cinnamon twigs and Poria transform qi and promote diuresis. Scutellaria and Platycodon elevate clearness and lower turbidity. Poria tonifies qi, activates blood circulation, and alleviates spasms. Add Coix seed and Winter melon seed to resolve stagnation, promote diuresis, and alleviate spasms. For significant prostate enlargement, add Curcuma and Hirudo to break blood stasis and resolve stagnation, or use them in combination with Guizhi Fuling Pill. For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
