摘要
Hyperplasia of prostate, a frequently encountered disease often affecting males over 50 years old, belongs to the category of urinary retention in TCM. Its pathogenesis is deficiency of the kidney and accumulation of heat in the lower-jiao, which may lead to poor circulation of bladder-qi. It is a syndrome of deficiency complicated with excess. The disease often involves the bladder, the lung, the spleen and the kidney. Water metabolism in the body is closely related to the function of tri-jiao. A smooth urination must depend on normal qi flow in tri-jiao. Therefore, in treatment of hyperplasia of prostate, the function of the qi flow in tri-jiao must be always strengthened.
