What are the treating principles of Chinese medicine curing prostatitis?

 

From the view of Traditional Chinese Medicine, chronic prostatitis is categorized as qi lin, qi strangury, or tong lin, painful strangury, when characterized by pain and distention. Strangury meaning small painful and frequent urinations. It is categorized as lao lin, taxation strangury, when it is associated with fatigue, and it is categorized as Re Lin, heat strangury, when it is accompanied by burning urination.

 

Faulty diet may give rise to dampness and heat pouring downward. When these accumulate in the bladder, they hinder and obstruct the bladder’s qi mechanism. This results in painful urination, choppy rough urination, frequent, urgent urination, and burning urination. Due to unfulfilled desires, the liver may be damaged and fail to control coursing and discharge. In that case, the bladder qi mechanism may become inhibited, thus giving rise to difficulty urinating, painful urination, and incomplete urination.

 

If damp heat and/or qi stagnation endure,this may give rise to blood stasis which even further inhibits the bladder's qi mechanism. Hence there is more serious and enduring urinary difficulty and more severe, localized, sharp, and/or stabbing pain. Due to enduring damp heat or to over-taxation, faulty diet, and too much thinking and worrying, the spleen qi may become vacuous and weak. Also due to enduring damp heat or to aging, the kidney qi may be consumed. In either or both cases, there will be insufficient qi to move fluids out of the bladder and insufficient qi to hold fluids within the bladder. Thus there is hesitant, difficult urination and terminal dribbling. Kidney qi vacuity may be associated with either kidney yin or kidney yang vacuity or both.

 

Most Western cases of chronic prostatitis involve at least some element of damp heat. When there is a history of urinary tract infection, this damp heat may have been an externally invading damp heat or at least a totally replete damp heat. However, if damp heat lingers and endures, it damages the spleen and consumes yin. Therefore, chronic prostatitis is commonly complicated by qi and yin vacuity. Because lingering damp heat obstructs the free flow of qi, it is also typically complicated by stasis and stagnation.

 

To cure prostatitis, people need herbs to clear heat and eliminate dampness, quicken the blood and transform stasis. Dr.li developed Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill based on the treatment principle. The ingredients include Plantago seed, Dianthus superbus, talcum, earthworm, Polygonum aviculare, herba laminariae, pangolin, saffron，semen persicae，honeysuckle，lignum aquilariae, etc. They are natural with no side effects. People with chronic prostatitis can get cured in 3 months.
