Patient's question:
A few days ago, a friend gave me a lot of Panax notoginseng powder, saying it can treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and many other benefits. Previously, I had been suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, but after taking many medications for many years, it hadn't improved. I was wondering if I could try the Panax notoginseng powder.Doctor's answer:
The main pharmacological effect of Sanqi powder is to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and this effect is quite weak. It has a slight preventive effect against cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It has no therapeutic effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia, no preventive effect, and no health benefits either. Therefore, Sanqi powder is completely useless for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. You should pay attention not to catch a cold and drink more water. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more helpful than taking Sanqi powder.
