Wang Shimin, the third national medical master, Professor, chief physician, and doctoral supervisor at Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wang Shimin has been engaged in clinical and scientific research in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, especially in the male urinary system. He has made good use of ancient prescriptions without being confined to it. He has unique insights into the diagnosis and treatment of chronic prostatitis and . Now, Professor Wang Shimin's clinical experience in treating chronic prostatitis is introduced as follows to enjoy colleagues.
Chronic prostatitis is a genital and reproductive system disease that is more common in adult male groups. Its incidence is repetitive, refractory, and lingering. It belongs to the type III of the National Institutes of Health prostatitis classification. Its pathogenesis is unknown and its clinical manifestations are diverse. There is no exact and effective treatment plan so far. It has reported that the domestic incidence rate is 6.0%~32.9%, of which 35%~40% are men over 35 years old. Western medicine currently mainly uses non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alpha-blockers, antibiotics, prostate massage and other means, but it has not achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy, and the adverse reactions and recurrence rates are relatively high. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment of prostatitis has the advantages of few adverse reactions, significantly improving the patient's clinical symptoms, relatively stable efficacy, and safe and difficult to recur. The current treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine mainly include internal treatment methods and external treatment methods. Internal treatment methods mainly treat this disease through oral Chinese medicine; external treatment methods include acupuncture, microwave treatment, umbilical application, Chinese medicine retention enema, sit-bathing method, etc., and prevent the progress of the disease by regulating inflammatory cytokine , immune response, sex hormone levels and antioxidant effects to achieve the purpose of cure.
Clinical symptoms of chronic prostatitis patients are: frequent urination, burning urethra, incomplete urination, incomplete urination, and abnormal urination; pain and discomfort and swelling in the perineum, penis head, testicles, lower abdomen and other pelvic areas; may be accompanied by mental symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, forgetfulness, depression, and may have a certain impact on the patient's fertility function. Although the patient's life will not be directly threatened, this disease seriously affects the work, study, physical strength, physical and mental health of male patients. Studies have shown that psychiatric and neurological factors play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of chronic prostatitis, and more than 50% of patients with chronic prostatitis who have not been cured for a long time have obvious mental and psychological problems.

etiology and pathogenesis
Chronic prostatitis can be classified into the categories of traditional Chinese medicine " semen turbidity ", "lumbness", "low back pain", "white lust", "lumbness" and other categories according to its clinical manifestations. "Su Wen·Theory of Impotence" says: "The thoughts are endless, and I can't get what I want, and I'm crazy outside. When I enter the room, my tendons are too much, and my tendons are relaxed and erect, and it is , muscles are impotence , and it is white and lewd." Because this disease has a long course, it is prone to recurrence and long-lasting, which can easily bring various economic and mental pressure to the patient, resulting in poor emotions and discomfort in liver qi, and over time, the liver will be depressed and stagnant. Wang Shimin believes that liver depression and qi stagnation runs through the entire course of chronic prostatitis, and is most closely related to foot Jueyin liver meridian in meridians. "Lingshu·Mingmai" says: "The blood of the liver and foot Jueyin... follows the yin yin, enters the hair, passes through the yin instrument, and reaches the lower abdomen... belongs to the liver and the gallbladder, penetrates the diaphragm, and spreads the ribs." "Lingshu·Mingmai" says: "The muscles of the foot Jueyin... follow the yin thighs, and form on the yin instrument, and connects the tendons... the yin and thighs are painful and turn tendons, and the yin instrument is not used." Patients with chronic prostatitis have high pressure in life and work, and excessive smoking and alcohol, and the liver qi will be dispersed and discharged for a long time; in addition, the patient's diet is not in place, the spleen is ineffective, and the damp heat is internalized, which is accumulated in the essence room. The qi is stagnant and blood stasis over time, leading to the occurrence of this disease. As the "Subject of the Causes of Diseases, Gu Poisons and All Diseases, and All Symptoms of Diseases After Drinking" says: "Wine is toxic, but it is hot again. If you drink too much, the toxic heat penetrates the meridians and overflows the internal organs, causing all diseases."
Dialectics Ideas
Basic Treatment Methods Because most patients have obvious negative emotions such as anxiety, tension, depression, etc., the patient has a high psychological and mental stress; the clinical symptoms are mainly manifested as lower urinary tract symptoms such as urine waiting for , urine weakness, thinning of urine line, urinary pain, and bifurcation of urine, damp scrotum, pain in the perineum, testicles, lower abdomen on both sides, pubic joint and other parts. Over time, symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation may occur.

Over time, symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation may occur.Wang Shimin believes that alleviating or eliminating anxiety and depression is a key link in improving the treatment effect of the disease. In terms of treatment, the basic treatment method should be to relieve the liver and regulate the qi and regulate the qi. According to the belonging, physiological functions and characteristics of the liver, Wang Shimin also focuses on removing secondary pathological products such as dampness, heat, and blood stasis. In clinical practice, he often uses to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The self-created Sanhe Decoction treats chronic prostatitis, and emphasizes that the prescription and symptoms are consistent. The medicinal taste is mostly selected based on the "symptom" and the "symptoms" and the , four Qi, five flavors, and the main functions of the drug.

hawthorn core
Sanhe Decoction clinical application basic formula: hawthorn core 20g, orange core 20g, lychee core 20g, litchi core 20g, creek 10g, woody fragrance 10g, ghost arrow feather 20g, yanhusuo 10g, cumin 10g, qian 10g, qian 10g, qian 10g, urichiren 10g, black medicine 3g, snake bed 10g, Bupleurum 10g, licorice 8g.

The patient's disease course is long and there are often symptoms such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, add snake bed to warm the kidney and help yang, and the four medicines are the auxiliary medicines; Bupleurum and licorice are the medicines, Bupleurum leads all medicines into the liver meridian, and licorice is the medicines. All medicines are used together to relieve liver qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and warm the kidney and help yang. Sanhe Decoction is mostly warm and bitter medicine, and it mainly belongs to the liver and kidney meridians. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that warm medicine can "warm and disperse nodules and inhibit hyperplasia" and "bitter can dry dampness, and bitter can clear away and relieve", which is very consistent with the cause and pathogenesis of patients with chronic prostatitis.
