Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 45 years old this year. My kidneys have been slightly yang deficiency for a long time. Then, I was carefully examined in the hospital recently and found that I have prostatitis. I was wondering if there is a connection between these two conditions, so I wanted to ask you. Is there a relationship between the prostate and yang deficiency of the kidneys?Doctor's answer:
Actually, prostate diseases are diagnosed by Western medicine, while the deficiency of kidney Yang in Traditional Chinese Medicine is diagnosed by TCM. The two cannot be perfectly corresponded one-to-one. If it is diagnosed as kidney Yang deficiency, it is mainly determined by the patient's symptoms, of course, appropriate and careful examinations should also be conducted to check the condition of the signs. Generally, there is no organic inflammation. However, for prostate diseases, abnormalities can be clearly identified through examinations. For prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in time, it will affect the overall condition of the body. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
