Masses – A Proven Case

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), known as longbi (癃闭) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a common age-related issue affecting 70% of elderly men globally. Characterized by difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urinary retention, it severely impacts quality of life. Renowned TCM practitioner Professor Zhu Yongkang has developed a targeted TCM therapy combining middle qi tonification, phlegm-blood stasis resolution, and hard mass softening for BPH. We integrate high-purity Cistanche tubulosa extract-a premium TCM herb for prostate health, male vitality, and urinary function-to enhance efficacy, backed by our factory's top-tier production standards and scientific research.

Clinical Case: TCM Therapy for BPH (Longbi)

Patient Profile

Mr. Zhang, 65-year-old male worker from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. First consultation: October 29, 2005.

Medical History

The patient had a long history of physical weakness and visceral ptosis. He developed acute urinary retention after overexertion, requiring 2 days of catheterization and antibiotics. After catheter removal, he still struggled with dribbling urination and sought TCM treatment.

Clinical Manifestations

Pale complexion, mental fatigue, shortness of breath, poor appetite, lower abdominal distension and pain, loose stools (2–3 times daily), frequent dribbling urination. Tongue: pale with thin white coating and slight greasy root. Pulse: thready and weak. Rectal examination: Grade III enlarged prostate, hard texture, no nodules or tenderness.

 

TCM Syndrome Differentiation

Insufficient middle qi, intertwined phlegm and blood stasis, impaired qi transformation.

Treatment Principle

Tonify middle qi, resolve phlegm and blood stasis, soften hard masses, unblock urinary passages.

Prescribed Formula: Modified Tongbi Decoction

Herbal Ingredients: Carapax Trionycis (Biejia), Spina Gleditsiae (Zaojiaoci), Rhizoma Curcumae Ezhu (Ezhu), Concha Ostreae (Muli), Thallus Laminariae (Kunbu), Succinum Powder (Hupofen, taken separately), Radix Astragali (Huangqi), Radix Codonopsis (Dangshen), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (Chaobaizhu), Rhizoma Cimicifugae Preparata (Zhishèngma), Radix Bupleuri (Chaihu), Poria Cocos (Fuling).

Dosage: 14 doses, 1 dose daily, decocted with water, taken morning and evening.

Lifestyle Guidance: Maintain emotional calm, avoid overexertion, keep warm to prevent colds, and avoid spicy/irritating foods.

Follow-Up & Efficacy

Second Consultation (November 12, 2005): After 2 weeks of treatment, symptoms improved-urination became smoother and stronger, though frequency remained high. Same formula continued.

Third Consultation (November 26, 2005): After another 21 doses, only mild lower abdominal heaviness remained. Urination was smooth, frequency normalized. Switched to patent medicines for consolidation: Buzhong Yiqi Pills (2 doses daily) and Dahuang Zhechong Pills (2 doses daily), taken for 6 months.

Final Outcome

After 6 months of consolidation therapy, the patient fully recovered: smooth urination, no dribbling or retention, resolved lower abdominal distension, normal formed stools (once daily). No recurrence during 6 months of follow-up.

 

TCM Insights into BPH & Modern Advantages

Why TCM Works for BPH

BPH falls under TCM categories of longbi (urinary retention) and zhengjia (abdominal masses). Professor Zhu adheres to core TCM principles: "soften hard masses, eliminate accumulations, unblock obstructions". His self-designed Tongbi Decoction targets the root cause of BPH-phlegm-blood stasis and hard masses in the lower jiao.

Core Efficacy of Tongbi Decoction

Softening Hard Masses: Carapax Trionycis, Concha Ostreae, and Thallus Laminariae (salty in nature) dissolve prostate hyperplasia masses.

Resolving Blood Stasis: Rhizoma Curcumae Ezhu and Spina Gleditsiae break stubborn blood stasis, reduce prostate congestion.

Unblocking Urinary Passages: Wine-processed Rheum Radix et Rhizoma and Succinum Powder clear lower jiao stasis, restore smooth urination.

Personalized Modification for Holistic Healing

TCM treats syndromes, not just diseases-flexible adjustments address individual imbalances:

Insufficient Middle Qi (like this case): Remove Rheum Radix et Rhizoma, combine with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction to tonify qi, invigorate the spleen, and unblock water passages.

Lung Qi Stagnation (cough, phlegm): Add Scutellariae Radix, Mori Cortex, and Platycodonis Radix-"open upper orifice to unblock lower orifice" (TCM "pot-lifting to uncover lid" therapy).

Kidney Yang Deficiency (cold limbs, soreness): Add Aconiti Radix Lateralis Preparata, Cinnamomi Cortex, and Cistanche Tubulosa-a premium TCM herb for kidney yang tonification and prostate health-to restore kidney qi transformation.
