Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaMain question: Is Ganoderma Capsule effective in reducing symptoms such as perineal swelling, anal swelling, and a sense of heaviness?
Doctor's answer:
The patient experiences dizziness and pain in the head, numbness in limbs, muscle twitching, restlessness, insomnia, facial flushing, dry mouth, red tongue, and a wiry, thin pulse. This indicates insufficient liver yin and hyperactivity of liver yang. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin, subduing yang, enriching blood, and soothing the liver. Medications such as prepared rhubarb, white peony root, angelica sinensis, polygonum multiflorum, chrysanthemum, oyster shell, and pearl shell may be used.For example, if the patient has poor digestion, vomiting clear water, and watery diarrhea, with a pale tongue and white coating, and a deep, thin pulse, this suggests deficiency of spleen and stomach yang. Treatment should warm the yang of the spleen and stomach, using the "warming the center and dispelling cold" method.
