Benign prostate hyperplasia, also known as BPH, is a common condition that affects older men. It is characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, such as: difficulty urinating, frequent urination, waking up at night to urinate, and a weak urine stream. These symptoms can lead in some cases to infection, bladder stones, and reduced kidney function. While there are a number of treatment options available for BPH, including medications and surgery, we have developed a painless treatment protocol that is 87% effective in reducing its symptoms using a blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern science.
Patients like Robert M share: "I did not know whether Dr. Andrea would be able to help me with BPH, I had been a patient of hers for a shoulder injury and during one of our appointments I decided to ask. She started treatments for it and after a few months I am able to sleep through the night, urinate less frequently and feel like I’m in my 40’s again. I wholeheartedly recommend her treatments”
Dr. Andrea explains “BPH is an uncomfortable condition that I see often at my practice, unfortunately not a lot of men know that they can get relief naturally and are shy to ask. By blending modalities of Chinese Medicine such as acupuncture and our Bio-electric therapies we get excellent results. Patients can expect reduced symptoms such as improved urination stream, better sleep, and less urination frequency”
How our BPH protocol works: Acupuncture targets key points along the body's energy pathways, known as meridians, including points related to the urinary system and reproductive organs. By stimulating these points, as well as using our Bio-electic therapies we can:
Reduce inflammation: Acupuncture has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help alleviate inflammation in the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. Our Bio-electric therapies have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in studies, they decrease the inflammatory cytokine levels which can help decrease swelling and alleviate pain associated with BPH.
Relax pelvic muscles: Tight or tense pelvic muscles can contribute to urinary symptoms in BPH. Acupuncture can help relax these muscles, reducing pressure on the bladder and improving urine flow.
Balance hormones: Acupuncture may help regulate hormone levels, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which play a role in prostate growth.
Improve blood circulation: Enhanced blood flow to the prostate gland can promote healing and reduce swelling, relieving urinary symptoms associated with BPH.
For men seeking natural and holistic approaches to BPH relief, acupuncture offers a promising solution. Unlike conventional treatments such as medication or surgery, acupuncture is non-invasive and typically free of side effects. Additionally, many individuals find acupuncture sessions to be relaxing and rejuvenating, providing not only physical but also mental and emotional benefits.
Benign Prostate Hyperplasia can significantly impact quality of life, affecting urinary function and overall well-being. While there are various treatment options available, acupuncture stands out as a safe, effective, and natural alternative for managing BPH symptoms and promoting prostate health. By targeting key points along the body's energy pathways, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, relax pelvic muscles, balance hormones, and improve blood circulation, providing much-needed relief for men struggling with BPH.
