趁早保健前列腺
前列腺是男士獨有的生殖腺，負責分泌濃液保護精子和尿道，良性前列腺增生（又名良性前列腺肥大症），是男士正常衰老的生理疾病，主要症狀包括：常有尿急感覺、排尿困難、尿頻、夜尿、小便流量微弱、小便時灼痛或刺痛等等。有研究指良性前列腺增生影響五成60歲以上及九成70歲以上的男士。
前列腺增生引起的症狀屬於中醫「癃閉」的範疇。隨著男士年歲增長，腎氣漸虧、年老體衰是前列腺增生症的發病原因。中醫理論認為腎負責大小二便功能，腎陽虛衰導致膀胱氣化不利，於是出現尿頻、排尿因難和小便不利等症狀。而前列腺肥大主要由痰濕、濕熱等積聚引起，周邊氣血瘀滯，導致膀胱及尿道阻塞，因此中醫治療首要恢復膀胱的氣化功能，並因應個人體質狀況，結合溫補腎陽、健脾化濕、活血化瘀、調暢氣機等方法調理。
