Abstract:
The “conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel sharing the same origin” theory refers to the concept that the conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel all originate from the same source within the uterus and emerge from the perineum. Based on the modern research of McNeal's prostate zonal anatomy theory， it is believed that the conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel have the closest relationship with the prostate in terms of their origin and running course. It is proposed that the essential meaning of the ‘conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel sharing the same origin’ theory in relation to the prostate is that the conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel respectively connect to the transition zone， peripheral zone， and central zone of the prostate. Moreover， the differences in the yin-yang attributes of the conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel exhibit distinct functional characteristics in different zones of the prostate， which serve as an important basis for the physiological and pathological differences in various prostate zones. Based on this premise， a prostate meridian， qi and blood syndrome differentiation method is further proposed， wherein the differences in the meridian characteristics of the conception vessel， governor vessel and thorough vessel determine the differences in the yin-yang aspects of qi and blood in different prostate zones. When clinical diagnosis is conducted， the inherent physiological differences of the different prostate zones should be fully taken into account， as well as the pathological characteristics of the disease， in order to guide the diagnosis and treatment of related clinical conditions.
