Prostatitis is a refractory disease, which is unknown, and there is a lack of targeted clinical methods, resulting in patients suffering from long-term pain. However, TCM plays to its unique advantage in this situation.
However, TCM also often faces skepticism from the outside world. As TCM practitioners, we must not be swayed by these voices, but must adhere to a professional and scientific attitude. We should have a comprehensive understanding of the disease, grasp the relevant literature and information, and avoid pretending to understand but not knowing anything, let alone deceiving patients.
We should treat patients with compassion and use the right to prescribe correctly, and should not harm the health of patients and our own medical ethics for personal gain. For the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we should combine it with practice and use it rationally, instead of taking advantage of the information asymmetry between doctors and patients, so that traditional Chinese medicine becomes mysterious and mysterious.
The outside world's comments on Chinese medicine are just noise, and what really makes Chinese medicine embarrassed is that many people deviate from the "great medical sincerity" of the sages of Chinese medicine. Returning to the Chinese medicine of prostatitis, first of all, let's look at the name of the disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine calls prostatitis "white turbidity" or "fine turbidity", which mainly describes the presence of white discharge in the patient's urethra, which comes from the inflammatory products of the prostate. However, these symptoms are not common in practice. In fact, the symptoms of prostatitis are mainly focused on pain and poor urination, so what causes these symptoms?It can be roughly divided into four aspects.
The first is silting. When the body is weak and weak, the person's metabolic function will decline, and the metabolic waste will not be discharged smoothly, which will cause inflammation and congestion, and the urine will not be smooth, the stool will be dry, and the pain will all come. In addition to pain, patients may also experience symptoms such as lack of moisturized hair, rough nails, and a dark or purple tongue.
The second is hypothermia. Most modern people have a hot physique, especially young men. Working overtime and staying up late, eating fried and greasy food, stimulating by tobacco and alcohol, and even drug abuse, can all deplete the body's normal fluids and lead to internal heat. Unclean sex and multiple sexual partners can also introduce external heat poisons into the body. Heat and fire burn the veins, causing pain and urgency.
The third is moisture. Dampness is closely related to water and is mainly related to the function of the spleen and stomach. Diet, excessive dieting, and indiscriminate medication can cause serious harm to the spleen and stomach. Dampness tends to affect the lower part of the human body, causing symptoms such as dampness, heaviness in the lower abdomen, difficulty falling asleep, and tiredness during the day.
Finally, there is anxiety. Anxiety gives people a feeling of being oppressed, impenetrable, and unrefreshing. We live in a fast-paced, high-stress society, and there are often unpleasant things happening.
Anxiety can be reflected in the urinary system itself, manifested as symptoms such as distension and pain in the lower abdomen, intermittent urination, etc., or it can be reflected outside the urinary system, manifested as depressed mood, loss of interest in ** and even loss of interest in life. These four aspects are often intertwined with each other, and finally come down to the viscera.
Through the TCM syndrome differentiation analysis of prostatitis**, we can better understand the pathogenesis of the prostate, and at the same time, combined with the application of TCM deficiency and stone removal method, we can effectively alleviate the symptoms of patients and improve the quality of life of patients.
