Abstract:
Chronic prostatitis is a common disease in male clinics. The theory of "brain-centre-kidney-vessel" axisis based on the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, the pathogenesis of modern men's diseases, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in men's medicine proposed by clinical practice. It takes the "brain-heart-kidney-vessel" axis as the entry point, the use of the vessel as the core pathogenesis, the meridians as the link, and the dysfunction of the brain, heart, and kidneys as the important conditions, and proposes that the biological basis between chronic prostatitis and the "brain-heart-kidney-vessel" axis is related to neurological, endocrine, and immunological disorders, as well as the biological basis of the "brain-heart-kidney-vessel" axis. It is also suggested that the biological basis between chronic prostatitis and the "brain-heart-kidney-sperm chamber" axis is related to the nerves, endocrine, immune and microenvironment. Through in-depth study of the biological basis of the "brain-cardiac-kidney-peritoneum" axis, we can better understand the pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis and provide reference for future clinical treatment.
