Abstract:
Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is commonly encountered in males more than 50-years-old, its clinical symptom is mainly manifestated as the dysuresia, which could seriously affect the health and quality of life of aged persons. It was suggested in this paper that the integrated medical treatment for BPH should put prominence to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), go on the way of combining disease with syndrome and integrating macroscopic with microscopic treatment. Moreover, some methods are proposed, such as to establish practical animal model, unfold experimental research, create TCM efficacy evaluating system, improve dosage form of Chinese drugs, so as to explore the thinking ways for treatment of BPH with integrated medicine.
