Acupuncture Treatment for Prostate Enlargement
Prostate enlargement primarily manifests clinically as frequent urination, incomplete voiding, painful urination, abdominal tightness, prolonged course, recurrent episodes, and persistent difficulty in healing. It commonly affects middle-aged and elderly men, especially older individuals. Clinical treatment often adopts methods such as clearing heat and dampness, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, tonifying the middle energizer and qi, and soothing liver and relieving depression. Western medicine typically uses antibiotics, which may provide immediate relief but often lead to recurrence, prolonged duration, and persistent difficulty in healing. In recent years, based on the pathological mechanisms of prostate enlargement, I have employed acupuncture treatment, achieving rapid results and favorable prognosis. The therapeutic methods and analysis are reported below.
