Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Treatment by Chinese Medicine

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common andrological condition. It is a major source of lower urinary tract symptoms in aging males. These include urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy and incontinence, as well as nocturia, decreased urinary stream strength, split-stream voiding and terminal dribbling. An integrated Chinese-Western medical understanding of this condition strengthens the Chinese medical practitioner’s ability to diagnose and treat BPH with acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicine.
