How to treat prostate cancer with traditional Chinese medicine

Prostate cancer is a malignant cancer with a very high mortality rate. The cause of the disease is still unclear. It is preliminarily believed that the disease pattern is proportional to the increase in age. In my country, traditional Chinese medicine is gradually reviving, and traditional Chinese medicine anti-cancer has also received widespread attention. In particular, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat prostate cancer is an emerging therapy. So how does traditional Chinese medicine treat prostate cancer? What effect can traditional Chinese medicine treatment of prostate cancer achieve?

In terms of theoretical basis, people are based on food and water, and the essence of food and water is the material basis of human life activities. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution. The stomach is responsible for receiving and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. The spleen rises and the stomach descends, and together they complete the digestion of food and the distribution of the essence of food and water. The spleen and stomach conditioning method is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Our experience can be reflected in the application of Sijunzi Decoction. The spleen is the source of biochemistry and the foundation of the five internal organs. Sijunzi Decoction is a basic prescription for strengthening the body and nourishing the foundation. It can produce blood and essence by replenishing qi, and can also consolidate the body.

As the saying goes, "When the positive energy is inside, the evil cannot enter." For patients with advanced prostate cancer who have obvious weak positive energy, replenishing the qi, strengthening the positive energy and strengthening the root is to expel the evil. For quite a few patients, it effectively alleviated the uncomfortable symptoms such as constipation, edema, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc., and achieved the effect of partially improving the quality of life.

At the same time, depending on the patient's physical tolerance, some detoxification and anti-cancer drugs can be added in appropriate amounts to directly inhibit tumors. However, it should be emphasized that the supplementation of exogenous androgens will significantly promote the condition of prostate cancer patients. Some Chinese medicines, especially those that replenish kidney yang, contain substances similar to androgen. In the case that modern pharmacological research on many kidney-tonifying Chinese medicines is not very clear, kidney-tonifying drugs must be used with caution or not in clinical practice.

A large number of previous studies have also confirmed that patients with malignant tumors have problems with low immune function. The application of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body and nourish the root can indeed partially improve the patient's hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex function, partially alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and protect the bone marrow hematopoietic function.

For patients with advanced prostate cancer, although Chinese medicine for strengthening the body and strengthening the root cannot cure the tumor, it can partially improve the patient's clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life, and truly achieve coexistence with the cancer.
