Some people have visited many hospitals during the process of treating infertility but have not been able to solve the problem. Finally, traditional Chinese medicine is still used to treat male infertility. So, how does traditional Chinese medicine treat male infertility?
The infertility expert of traditional Chinese medicine said: "Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion have a good therapeutic effect on the improvement of the quantity and quality of sperm of infertile patients. However, traditional Chinese medicine is not aimed at the treatment of individual sperm defects, but to achieve the goal of improving sperm quality as a whole by changing the physique and internal conditions of the body.
"Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners need to analyze and summarize the overall data collected from the patient's medical history, examination reports, and consultation, palpation, and pulse examination to determine the patient's syndrome type before sending prescriptions for treatment."
According to infertility experts in traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of male infertility in traditional Chinese medicine generally includes two syndrome types: kidney deficiency and deficiency of both qi and blood:
1、 Kidney deficiency
Kidney dominates human reproductive function, and kidney essence is the essence of kidney. The kidney also dominates some functions of the endocrine system, nervous system, and circulatory system. Kidney Yang deficiency is characterized by low systemic metabolic function, energy deficiency, and insufficient production of kidney essence; Kidney yin deficiency is characterized by hypermetabolism throughout the body and rapid consumption of heat energy.
Therefore, if the doctor diagnosed the patient as kidney yang deficiency, it is necessary to adopt the treatment principles of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, benefiting essence and promoting marrow, and then use Zanyu Pill, which is used for medicinal purposes such as Morinda officinalis, Epimedium, Fructus cnidii, leek seed, Cynanchum, Cistanche deserticola, Cornus officinalis, etc. If the doctor diagnosed the patient as kidney yin deficiency and treated the patient with nourishing yin, tonifying the kidney, and promoting marrow, it is recommended to use Wuzi Yanzong Pill, Zhibai Dihuang Pill, plus or minus, for medicinal purposes such as Radix Rehmanniae, Polygonum multiflorum, Turtle plate, Cuscuta chinensis, Chinese wolfberry fruit, Huangjing, and yam.
2、 Deficiency of both qi and blood
If the patient exhibits a condition of thin semen, low sperm count, pale face, weak form, lack of qi and lazy speech, dizziness, light tongue, white moss, thin and weak pulse, or low systemic function, the treatment can be used to replenish qi and blood, nourish yin and latent yang, and use Bazhen Decoction for medicinal purposes such as Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, white peony, Radix Rehmanniae, Ginseng, and Atractylodes macrocephala.
According to the symptoms, diagnose whether you belong to the syndrome type of kidney deficiency or deficiency of both qi and blood. Look at your medication.
