Prostatic hyperplasia is commonly seen in aged men.
What are the clinical characteristics of urinary issues?
Frequent urine, difficult urine, acute block of the flow of urine, or incontinent urine.
What does ischuria refer to in TCM?
Ischuria refers to incontinent urine in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
What is the etiology + pathogenesis of Prostatic Hyperplasia in the Upper Jiao?
Results in Obstruction in BL:
LU regulates water passage and descends the water into BL ( LU empty cold or LU dryness)
Dryness in LU Qi –> not descending –> difficult urine
Empty cold in LU –> Unable to control BL –> Frequent or incontinent urine
What is the etiology + pathogenesis of Prostatic Hyperplasia in the Middle Jiao?
Damp-Heat Blocking BL:
SP & ST deficiency –> failure of T+T –> damp-heat –> flowing downwards –> blocking BL –> difficult urination
Unable to Control BL:
SP & ST deficiency –> Qi sinking –> failure of controlling BL –> enuresis + incontinent urine
What is the etiology + pathogenesis of Prostatic Hyperplasia in the Lower Jiao?
Consumption or Fluid or Not Transforming Fluid:
Aging –> Ki Qi Xu –> Imbalance of Yin & Yang
-KD Yin deficiency –> unsmooth flow of urine, scanty but frequent
-KD Yang deficiency –> profuse, frequent urine, enuresis, incontinent urine
Blocking BL:
Aging, improper diet, overstrain –> blood stagnation in BL –> blocking ureter –> difficulty in urine
What is the difference between Prostatitis and Prostatic hyperplasia?
More serious than prostatitis and also involves the metabolism of the whole body
