Research progress in treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome with traditional Chinese medicine
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS)is a common urological disease with complex etiology.The treatment effect of western medicine is not satisfactory,and the course of the disease is protracted,which brings great trouble to pa-tients.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has a variety of treatment methods based on syndrome differentiation and treatment,inclu-ding internal treatment with TCM,acupuncture and massage,and other external treatment methods for comprehensive treatment,with significant effect.This study summarized the etiology and pathogenesis of CP/CPPS and found that western medicine cannot fully ex-plain the etiology and pathogenesis of CP/CPPS.It was believed that CP/CPPS was mainly related to many factors such as special pathogen infection,voiding dysfunction,mental and psychological abnormalities,neuroendocrine abnormalities,immune abnormalities,excessive oxidative stress,pelvic diseases,and heredity.TCM believed that CP/CPPS was caused by damp heat,blood stasis,Qi stagnation,and poisoning and was closely related to the organs of the liver,spleen,kidney,lung,stomach,bladder,and meridians of Chong and Ren channels and three yin channels of the foot.In the treatment of TCM,multiple comprehensive treatment plans are cur-rently used,including internal treatment with TCM(decoction,proprietary Chinese medicine,and unique therapies of famous doc-tors),acupuncture and massage treatment,and other external treatment methods(rectal administration,topical application of TCM,and ear acupoint pressure).Comprehensive regulation has significant clinical efficacy and prominent characteristics of TCM,and it is worth clinical promotion.This study aims to provide a reference for clinical prevention and treatment of CP/CPPS and points out poten-tial directions for future research in this field.
