Experimental And Theoretical Study Of Simiao Pellet On Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

In the guidance of the theory of TCM, this paper probed mainly into the reason and pathogenesis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and made a initial research for the curative effect and theorem of Simiao Pellet remedying BPH in experiment and theory. Damp-heat was thought a very important nosogenetic factor in the course of BPH. Simiao Pellet is coming from CHENG FANG BIAN DU, and have the function of reducing heat and resolving dampness. It is the representative formula in descending of damp-heat. The experiment indicated that Simiao Pellet obviously decreased the prostatic wet weight and the prostatic index of the rats with BPH, lowered the testosterone levels in plasma. The photos of pathology also indicated that Simiao Pellet had obviously effect in improving the edema in prostate spaces and the hyperplasia of the smooth muscle out of the prostate cavity.It is suggested that Simiao Pellet is useful in treating BPH.
