Patient's question:
Prostatic calcification. Is prostatic calcification easy to treat? What is the best way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
For prostatic calcification, the main cause is primarily due to a scar tissue reaction that occurs after the healing of prostatic inflammation. This phenomenon can easily lead to prostatic stones if it reappears. Currently, in terms of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown better results than Western medicine and also prevents destructive damage to the prostate. From a TCM perspective, prostatic calcification is believed to be caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and lower jiao damp-heat in the prostate area. Treatment requires herbal formulas that clear damp-heat and promote blood circulation to resolve stasis. Generally, a treatment period of about two months is recommended. However, it is advisable to consult an experienced TCM practitioner who can tailor the herbal prescription to your specific constitution for faster improvement. Once the condition improves, it will not affect fertility.
