Treatment of chronic prostatitis by activating blood circulation, dispelling phlegm, searching for wind and clearing ligaments

         The causes and pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis have not been fully researched yet, pathogenic infection, immune factors, neuroendocrine factors, physical and chemical stimulation, pelvic venous disease, enhanced oxidative stress, psychosomatic and many other factors directly involved or influenced the occurrence of prostatitis, and there may be multiple etiologies at play at the same time.  The reason for this is the complexity of the causes of chronic prostatitis and the fact that the pathophysiology is not very clear, modern medicine in the clinic mostly uses empirical or multiple drug combination treatment.   The most important thing is that it is not just a matter of the clinical characteristics, but also a matter of the Chinese medicine. The lancets are the bridge between the inside and outside, the place where the qi and blood converge, so they also become the pathway of invasion and transmission of external evil. The most important thing is that it is not only a good idea to have a good idea of what to do, but also a good idea to have a good idea of what to do.    The main reason for this is that the disease has been in the bloodstream for a long time and the metabolism of blood and fluids has become abnormal, resulting in stasis of blood and phlegm, and phlegm and stagnation of phlegm in the veins and impaired function of the veins, resulting in a pathological state of phlegm and stagnation of the veins.   For example, prostate tissue edema, inflammatory exudate, glandular secretions, indicating that prostatitis is phlegmatic; 89.4% of patients with chronic prostatitis have dilated prostate plexus, indicating that prostatitis is suffering from blood stasis.  The modern medical research shows that chronic prostatitis pain is mainly caused by habitual contraction and spasm of the pelvic muscles. This abnormal muscle spasm belongs to the wind evidence in Chinese medicine.   Based on the above understanding, we believe that the principle of treatment for chronic prostatitis is to invigorate blood and dispel phlegm, search for wind and open the ligaments. The combination of these medicines can help to unblock the ligaments, remove blood stasis and activate blood circulation, expel phlegm and eliminate turbidity, search for wind and relieve spasm, and relieve swelling and pain.
