Chinese Medicine

BPH syndromes are relatively concentrated, with kidney yang deficiency, kidney deficiency and blood stasis, lung heat congestion and middle qi sinking as its main syndromes. Yang-tonifying drugs, blood-breaking and symptom-eliminating drugs, and qi-tonifying drugs ranked in the top three. Yang-tonifying drugs ranked first, accounting for 12.19%, with epimedium and Morinda officinalis as commonly used drugs, and blood-breaking and symptom-eliminating drugs with higher frequency of use were Curcuma zedoaria, Trigonella lobata, and pangolin. It can be seen that yang deficiency and blood stasis are the main pathogenesis of BPH. Yang deficiency and endogenous yin and coldness, coldness astringes and stagnates, resulting in poor blood circulation and blood stasis. Therefore, tonifying yang and removing blood stasis are the first choice for treating this disease. Qi-tonifying drugs are ranked second. Usually, Qi deficiency is the first pathogenesis. Qi deficiency over time leads to Yang deficiency, which is unable to promote blood circulation and leads to internal obstruction of blood clots, which can cause BPH.

Adverse reactions to medications for prostate hyperplasia

The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia requires the simultaneous use of receptor blockers (such as terazosin hydrochloride or doxazosin mesylate controlled release) and 5α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride). This study found that the incidence of adverse reactions and first-dose effects of α-receptor blockers was higher than that of 5α-reductase inhibitors, among which terazosin hydrochloride had the highest incidence of adverse reactions. The incidence of adverse reactions of 5α-reductase inhibitors was lower. The new dual 5ARI dutasteride can significantly and long-term inhibit the production of DHT in the blood and prostate, and is effectively used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, and shows good safety and tolerability. The adverse reactions that deserve full attention are: impotence, decreased libido, male breast development and ejaculation disorders. If adverse drug reactions occur, the medication regimen should be adjusted in time.
