Patient's question:
It is said that traditional Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. What traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
The development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is closely related to long-term inflammatory stimulation. When deciding on a treatment method, both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine have their own approaches. However, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are generally less severe compared to those of Western medicine. If you choose to treat BPH with traditional Chinese medicine, it is advisable to have the herbal prescription tailored to your pulse condition. If you opt for traditional Chinese herbal medicine, it is essential to integrate your pulse diagnosis into the formulation of the herbal formula. Alternatively, you can take prepared Chinese medicine formulations such as Pulegan tablets or Qianmao Shule capsules.
