As men age, one of the most common health concerns they face is prostate enlargement, which can lead to urinary difficulties, frequent trips to the bathroom, and interrupted sleep at night. While Western medicine often turns to medication or surgery for relief, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers a different perspective—one that emphasizes energy balance, circulation, and lifestyle habits.

Wu Hongqian, director of the Yisheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan, told The Epoch Times that men can reduce their risk of prostate problems through targeted exercises and addressing deeper imbalances in the body through diet and TCM principles.

A TCM Perspective of Prostate Enlargement

In TCM, prostate issues are not viewed as an isolated condition but rather as the result of imbalances in the body’s energy (qi), circulation (blood), and metabolism.
