The prostate gland belongs to the sperm chamber in Chinese medicine, its physiological characteristics are of Qiheng’s House, closely related to the liver and kidneys, located in the lower jiao, dampness causes disease and is the basic cause of prostate disease.
The prostate gland is located between the bladder and the urogenital diaphragm, the front is adjacent to the pubic symphysis, the rear is bared to the rectum, the male urethra from the bottom to the tip through this gland. The prostate is a substantial organ, consisting mainly of glandular tissue and smooth muscle, with fascia wrapped around the surface, and it is now thought that the prostate has both exocrine and endocrine functions. The adult prostate gland continues to secrete prostatic fluid, which is weakly acidic, and in the ejaculate, prostatic fluid accounts for 30% ± of the semen. The adult man secretes about 0.5 to 2.0 ml per day, most of which is excreted in the urine. The prostate gland has 30~50 vesicles with secretory function, which converge into 16~32 excretory ducts, opening in the posterior urethra on both sides of the semen. The prostate fluid is a component of semen and can provide energy for sperm, from the properties of the internal organs, the prostate has the role of generating and storing semen, full but not real characteristics, while the prostate has to be regularly excreted, otherwise and blocked in the interior, prone to a hundred diseases. The actual but not full characteristics of the prostate gland belongs to the house of Qi Heng. The actual fact is that the prostate gland is located in the lower jiao, the lower jiao is like a malfunction, with the downward opening, the outward excretion of the potential. The prostate gland is located in the perineum and is connected to the Ren vein, which is closely related to pregnancy and reproduction. The liver meridian enters the pubic hair, surrounds the genitals, and passes through the prostate to the small abdomen. It is also the most important part of the body. The normal production and excretion of the prostate gland depends on the production of essence and the normal draining of the liver, so the liver and kidneys should be fully considered in the clinical treatment of prostate diseases.
The pathological characteristics of the prostate gland.
1. external evil causes disease”
The prostate gland is located in the lower jiao, before the bladder, the urethra through the place, the most vulnerable to the attack of the evil of dampness and toxicity, dampness and toxicity external attack, contained in the prostate department, day long into silt, day long; refining liquid into phlegm, day long into heat, the formation of wet silt phlegm, the basic pathological changes, chronic prostatitis lingering difficult to heal, consider the dampness of the evil for a long time into phlegm, the formation of sink phlegm silt phlegm caused.

The spleen is the source of water, the spleen is the source of water, the spleen is healthy, the dampness will go away, so the spleen is the basic method of treating dampness, with Six Junzi Tang, Ping Gastric San, Isogong San as its basic formula. Aromatizing and resolving dampness; aromatizing can awaken the spleen and resolve dampness, which is an essential treatment for dampness. Dampness often invades the lower jiao, so light percolation of dampness and urination is a common treatment for dampness, with the addition and subtraction of Fang Ji Tang; dampness and dampness are not heat evidence, but also cold dampness, so the formula for warming cold dampness is represented by Zhen Wu Tang. This is a good way to get the most out of your life.

The reason for this is the deficiency of kidney energy, and the unfavorable Qi transformation of the bladder. Prostate disease is a common disease, from the most basic theory of Chinese medicine research will certainly bring benefits to the treatment
