Prostate enlargement

Prostatic hyperplasia, also known as prostatic hyperplasia, is common in middle-aged and elderly men over 50 years old, with an incidence rate of about 50%. The main causes are the imbalance of sex hormones and chronic prostatic hyperplasia, which cause prostatic hyperplasia and compress the bladder outlet and urethra. The main manifestations are frequent urination, increased nocturia, dysuria, and even obstruction or incontinence. In a few cases, hematuria may be seen.

Traditional Chinese medicine classifies it as "stranguria" and blames it on dysfunction of the lungs, kidneys, and spleen. It believes that this disease can occur in people with accumulation of dampness and heat, stagnation of qi and blood, and deficiency of the lower part of the body.

The principle of massage treatment for this disease is to promote the flow of Qi and facilitate urination. For those with prostate enlargement that causes obstruction and affects normal physiological functions, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
