Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I am 39 years old. I have been experiencing lower back pain for about a year, with intermittent occurrences. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, over the past one and a half months, I have also been experiencing aching and fullness in the right testicle and lower right abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said my prostate is slightly enlarged, with a transverse diameter of 42, a longitudinal diameter of 26, and an anteroposterior diameter of 27. The ultrasound revealed that the prostate's echo is still relatively uniform and no obvious mass was observed.My questions are:
1. Prostate problems are often associated with older age. Since I am at this age and have this condition, is it a sign of early aging?
2. The size of my prostate is 422627. Is it significantly larger than the normal size?
Doctor's answer:
Sir, please don't hurry. If you treat this illness correctly, it will be resolved quickly. As you mentioned, the medicine can be taken.Actually, if you use Western medicine drips within the first three days of the illness, it can be controlled within a maximum of seven days.
But you said it has been more than a month. As long as you don’t have mental stress and receive treatment in a regular hospital, there is nothing to worry about. However, I think using traditional Chinese medicine is better.
Here is a prescription for you:
Chuanliu 10, Dangguiwei 15, Zhishi 10, Baishao 15, Sanleng 10, Eju 10, Huangqi 15, Chuanxiong 10
Gouqi 20, Niuxi 20, Duzhong 20, Chuanduan 20, Quimi 15, Baihuatongcao 15, Fu Ling 15
Take one dose per day. After five doses, you can go for a check-up. One dose costs no more than 15 yuan, and you can buy it from an old-fashioned pharmacy.
You can take the traditional Chinese medicine alone or add. There’s no need for anything else.
Take the traditional Chinese medicine at room temperature before meals, and take Western medicine after meals. Drink plenty of water, don’t drink alcohol, and smoke less. You can still smoke, but avoid spicy food.
Especially avoid dry spicy food.
If you have a stomach problem, you can eat some hawthorn slices or drink it after meals. Make sure to drink it at room temperature.
