Doctor's answer:
This condition is often caused by lower-jiao damp-heat, and can be treated by consuming some Chinese herbal medicines that clear lower-jiao damp-heat.Recommendation: You can use herbs such as coix seed (), berberine (), atractylodes rhizome (), achyranthes root (), calamus (), and smilax () to treat it. It is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner for follow-up. In daily life, pay attention to your diet—avoid spicy foods and alcohol. Engage in regular exercise and avoid staying up late.
Prostate enlargement can be cured, but the treatment process is usually long, and the condition may easily recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medications appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
