Patient's question:
My husband previously said he wasn't feeling well, and we went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctors diagnosed him with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). After using Western medicine for treatment, the results were not very effective. Relatives suggested trying traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for this condition. I would like to consult about whether TCM treatment is effective for my husband's BPH.Doctor's answer:
If the Western medicine doesn't work for benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is recommended that you try many different medications, as it may be related to each person's constitution. You can also implement conditioning through traditional Chinese medicine. Benign prostatic hyperplasia that is too severe can also be treated through surgery. It is advised not to smoke or drink beer regularly, and to avoid foods with high sugar content in your diet. Do not sit for long periods, and you can appropriately increase your activity, which can effectively help the prostate recover completely.
