Patient's question:
Prostate hyperplasia, lower abdominal fullness and distension, especially noticeable after sexual activity. Prone to getting hot and having bad breath.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be related to the issue of liver qi stagnation, spleen deficiency, and dampness in your body, which leads to the symptoms you describe. The onset of the condition may be associated with factors such as excessive fatigue, overtime work, emotional disturbances, sexual activity, prolonged sitting, and holding urine. It is advisable to consult an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner to determine the appropriate treatment. Herbal formulas such as Xiao Yao San (Free and Easy Wanderer) or Gui Pi Tang (Tonifying the Spleen Decoction) may be modified and used to adjust the treatment. Maintaining a calm mood, avoiding prolonged sitting, holding urine, and sexual activity, as well as regulating sexual life, are important. In fact, having benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
