Prostate Problems

THE key to dealing with the important issue of prostate trouble, particularly for men aged over 50, is finding an experienced Chinese medical practitioner because this is the only system of medicine that understands how the kidney influences this condition.

While the prostate gland contributes to a man’s normal life, it can also cause a series of troubles including difficulty with urination, burning pain on urination and frequent urination.

Associated symptoms can include fever, tiredness, lower abdominal pain, backache and mental stresses. These are commonly caused by prostatitis (infected or non-infected), prostate enlargement (degenerative change) and sometimes other diseases.

In the case of prostate enlargement, it seems most men will experience this change in later life, but the great majority of cases are benign or non-cancerous.

An increasing number of Australian men are utilising the well-proven Chinese medical methods of herbal remedies and acupuncture to deal with their prostate problems.

Its theory takes into consideration factors such as heat and damp, blood clots, deficiency of yin and yang, blockage of Qi, the life-force energy, which are all connected to these problems.

The kidney is the main organ involved and according to Chinese theory, once the flow of “Qi” and “Blood” is affected by these factors and the kidney fails to control urination properly, prostate problems will occur.

This is the key to discovering the real factors that cause the problem and finding effective treatments from Chinese medical theory. This is why finding an experienced Chinese practitioner is so important. Their system understands how the kidney’s condition and its associated organs relate and formulations are combined individually, in conjunction with acupuncture to unblock the meridians, to achieve the expected successful results.
