Abstract：According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)belongs to the category of"Jing Long".Clinical management of BPH in TCM is root-aimed and kidney-targeted,in combination with the treatment of other viscera based on the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs.The neuro-endocrine-immune network of modern medicine is simi-lar to the holistic concept of TCM.Based on the study of the neuro-endocrine-immune network,with kidney deficiency as the root of pathogenesis,and starting from the classification of viscera,this review elucidates the etiologic mechanisms of BHP from the perspec-tive of Chinese and Western medicine and provides some reference for medication.
