For more than 10 years, Michael experienced recurring prostate and urinary symptoms that affected both his daily life and his sleep. He dealt with discomfort and pressure in the prostate area, difficulty fully emptying his bladder, inconsistent urinary flow, and frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom.
At times, Michael was waking three or four times a night, often getting no more than two and a half hours of uninterrupted sleep. He sought help from multiple conventional medical providers, including doctors affiliated with major hospitals in New York City. He was repeatedly told that he had an enlarged prostate, while his PSA tests remained normal.
Michael tried medications including Flomax and underwent several invasive diagnostic procedures, but he says the symptoms continued to return. He eventually became frustrated with the idea of taking medication for the rest of his life and began looking into alternative approaches.
That search led him to Dr. Alex Heyne and Traditional Chinese Medicine. After discussing his symptoms, Michael began taking a customized Chinese herbal formula. He says he noticed an improvement within a few weeks. As they continued working together, Dr. Heyne adjusted the formula based on Michael’s remaining symptoms and response to treatment.
Michael describes experiencing significantly less prostate discomfort and pressure, improved urinary flow, and a greater sense of complete bladder emptying. Most notably, he says his nighttime urination decreased from three or four times per night to approximately one or two times, with some nights not being interrupted by the need to urinate at all.
He also describes experiencing deeper, more consistent sleep and no longer feeling like he constantly needed to be near a bathroom.
For Michael, the difference was especially meaningful after more than a decade of dealing with recurring symptoms. He says he now feels more comfortable and confident in his daily routine and considers his experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine a life-changing one.
