The treatment of prostate enlargement is based on warming Yang and transforming Qi

  In the clinic had treated an 82-year-old man with prostatic hyperplasia, complaining of more than 10 years of illness, frequent nocturnal urination, 3 to 5 times a night, weakness in urination, dripping, very painful. The first was to take western drugs such as Halo, Paulette, and Terazosin, which were effective in the early days, but then ineffective. In the past two years, he sought treatment from Chinese medicine practitioners, but the effect was not obvious either. The patient did not want to have surgery, but wanted to try again with Chinese medicine, and sought treatment from Yu. The patient’s previous prescriptions of Chinese medicine showed that they were for tonifying the kidneys, invigorating the blood, resolving dampness and relieving water, and softening and dispersing hard knots. Looking at the tongue and pulse, the tongue was light and moist with a thin white coating, and the pulse was sunken and thin. After 7 doses, the number of urination was no more than 3 times per night, and the urination was strong, and the drip was also improved, followed by 14 doses, the number of urination was 1 to 2 times per night, and the urination was smooth. The first of these is the “BPH”, the old name for prostate hyperplasia, which is also known as “retention of urine” and “urine loss” in Chinese medicine. The reason for this is related to the imbalance between androgens and estrogens in the body. The clinical characteristics are mainly frequent urination, increased nocturnal urination, difficulty in urination, and in severe cases, urinary retention or incontinence, and even impaired kidney function.  Age is one of the basic conditions for the onset of prostate enlargement. 40 years old is an important turning point for human development, as. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.    To put it in an analogy, the qi transformation of kidney yang is figuratively equivalent to the natural gas stove we use for cooking at home, only when the fire is strong enough can the water be boiled; and the solidification of kidney qi is equivalent to the dam of the Three Gorges, only when the kidney qi is sufficient can the dam be opened and closed properly. The role of the bladder is to be assisted by the kidney yang for qi transformation, Su Wen? The Secret Discourse of Linglan says: the bladder, the official of the state capital, the fluid is hidden in the place, gasification can be out. The water that penetrates into the bladder is warmed and vaporized by the kidney and bladder qi to achieve the effect of raising clear and lowering turbidity. Therefore, the metabolism of the whole body water depends on the kidney yang and bladder warming qi. Qing dynasty doctor Xie Yinglu had said: “the urine and not pass, all in the gas and not.”. . If the warmth of the kidney yang and bladder gasification function of the stimulation and consolidation role is not normal, the bladder opening and closing loss of power, you can appear to urinate unfavorably or retention of urine, and can appear urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urine loss, urinary incontinence and other typical manifestations of prostate hyperplasia. The main cause of prostate hyperplasia is the deficiency of kidney yang and the loss of qi-transformation.  The reason why prostate hypertrophy and hyperplasia are likely to occur in middle-aged and elderly people is because after the age of 50, the kidneys fail and the essence is less, the kidney yang is insufficient, the kidney qi is deficient, the qi-transformation is unfavorable, the blood cannot move with luck, the qi and blood are not smooth, the phlegm is phlegm, the phlegm and blood coalesce in the waterway; or hold urine for too long, the deficient essence and stagnant turbidity do not disperse, the stagnation is in the drowning orifice, causing the bladder to lose its qi-transformation and this is the cause of the disease. The deficiency of kidney yang and the lack of qi-chemistry is the root, while the pressure on the urinary tract and the obstruction are the symptoms, so we seize the root and seek the root of the disease, and take Jisheng Kidney Qi Pill as the basic formula clinically, and add and subtract according to the evidence. The main medicine is P.E.C. and Cinnamon. Yu Tuan said: P.E.C. is endowed with the quality of masculinity, and has the qi of cutting off the pass and taking away the general. It can lead the tonic medicine to travel the twelve meridians to recover the lost yuan yang, ……, and lead the warm medicine to the lower jiao to dispel the cold dampness in the interior. The herb “HuiYin”: cinnamon, cure sinking cold chronic cold medicine also, ……, if this taste thick sweet pungent big hot, down to walk in the things, strong life of the Yang, plant the heart and kidney Qi, proclaiming the hundred drugs, no fear, so that Yang long Yin since eliminated, and the former evidence from receding. Cinnamon and Radix et Rhizoma are both nourishing kidney yang and benefiting the vital fire, the two drugs must be combined to warm the kidneys and fire to dispel cold, strengthen the kidney yang, boiling kidney water, bladder gasification restored, stagnant turbidity removed, the water channel is open, water and dampness will be released. For nocturnal urination, add mulberry cuttlebone, puzzle nut and ocimum sanctum; for dysuria, add dong quai zi, wang buli and gunnera; for hyperplasia, add seaweed, kombu and turtle nail.
