Patient's question:
I felt mild lower abdominal pain and a sensation of incomplete urination last year. After a few days, blood in the urine reappeared, accompanied by pain. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed it was prostate stones. Now, I am being treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but the condition has not stabilized significantly.What kind of help I need: What are the treatment methods for prostate stones?
Doctor's answer:
Since the excretory function of the prostate relies on fatty acids, and pumpkin seeds contain fatty acids, they can help maintain good prostate function. Currently, there are many treatment methods and approaches, including drug therapy, as well as other non-surgical treatment methods, surgical treatment, and drug therapy. We know that the cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia is due to the impact of androgens. In the early days, people flexibly used estrogen to counteract androgens in treatment, or even underwent surgical removal of the testicles to increase androgen levels, aiming to achieve the goal of prostate enlargement. Due to the significant side effects of hormone therapy, it is rarely used.
