Traditional Chinese medicine has a significant therapeutic effect on sexual dysfunction

Is traditional Chinese medicine effective in treating sexual dysfunction? Sexual dysfunction often disturbs the normal life of male friends. Many patients with erectile dysfunction prefer to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. So, what is the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating sexual dysfunction? In clinical practice, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating sexual dysfunction is evident in the diagnosis and treatment of its diseases. Listen to experts analyze the treatment mechanisms of commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for sexual dysfunction:

Treatment of Sexual Dysfunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine

① Improve the immune function of the body. The immune function of the body includes two categories: cellular immunity and body immunity. The quality and quantity of T cells are important indicators of cellular immunity. Warming kidney yang drugs or aphrodisiacs such as Xianmao, Cuscuta, and Cynomorium have the effect of promoting the early formation of antibodies. When using these drugs as the main treatment for kidney deficiency, they can exhibit lymphocyte transformation.

② Improve endocrine regulation function. In most patients with deficiency syndrome, degeneration or atrophy of endocrine gland are often seen in pathological morphology, and the anterior pituitary, adrenal cortex, thyroid, testis or ovary all show degenerative changes to varying degrees. Other histiocyte can also shrink and degenerate, which is the material basis of organ and tissue dysfunction. Patients with severe deficiency syndrome can see cell degeneration or atrophy with special functions, replaced by fibrous connective tissue, resulting in overall organ dysfunction. The kidney tonifying method can regulate the function of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal cortex and thyroid system, and increase the excitability of the pituitary adrenal axis inhibited by exogenous hormones. The use of kidney tonifying method to induce ovulation can achieve good therapeutic effects on various gynecological diseases, and kidney tonifying formula can regulate the function of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis.

③ Improve bone marrow hematopoietic function. The treatment of chronic aplastic anemia mainly focuses on tonifying the kidney, and the therapeutic effect is significantly improved. Kidney tonifying drugs such as deer antler, Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonum multiflorum, Cynomorium songaricum, Psoralea corylifolia, and Morinda officinalis can proliferate red blood cells and hemoglobin, and increase the content of adenosine triphosphate in hemoglobin and cyclic guanosine monophosphate in bone marrow cells. Rehmannia glutinosa, Cornus officinalis, Cistanche deserticola and Cibotium canis can increase platelet. Ginseng can increase red blood cells, white blood cells, and hemoglobin in rabbits, with a greater increase in large monocytes in white blood cells. Ginseng can alleviate the damage of radiation to the hematopoietic system.

④ Improve the body's material metabolism. Ginseng has inhibitory effects on normal blood sugar and hyperglycemia caused by injection of adrenaline and hypertonic glucose. Protein synthesis promoting factors can be extracted from ginseng roots, mainly containing ginsenosides. This substance can promote the biosynthesis of proteins, DNA, and RNA, increase the activity of RNA polymerase, increase the synthesis rate of serum protein, increase the content of albumin and r-globulin, promote the division of bone marrow cells, and make red blood cells and white blood cells have an upward trend. Ginsenosides can promote animal growth and weight gain, which may be related to the promotion of protein and RNA synthesis. Many Fuzheng Guben drugs have regulatory effects on nucleic acid metabolism and cyclic nucleotide metabolism, such as Cynomorium, Epimedium, and Cuscuta chinensis, which can increase the synthesis rate of DNA.

⑤ Enhance the ability to resist stress and adjust the balance of yin and yang. Many aphrodisiac herbs can improve the body's adaptability, enhance the body's non-specific resistance to various harmful stimuli, and restore disordered functions to normal. Ginseng can restore the normal increase in red blood cells caused by cobalt nitrate, and increase the decrease in red blood cells caused by phenylhydrazine, demonstrating a bidirectional regulatory effect. Shengdi, Xuanshen, Ophiopogon japonicus, Turtle shell, etc. have the effect of adjusting the nucleic acid synthesis rate of "Yin deficiency" animals. When the nucleic acid synthesis rate is higher than normal, it can be reduced, and when the nucleic acid synthesis rate is lower than normal, it can be increased. And yang boosting drugs (such as aconite, cinnamon, cistanche deserticola, epimedium, etc.) used in experimental yang deficiency animals have an increasing effect on the decrease of liver and spleen nucleic acid content and succinate dehydrogenase activity, while a decreasing effect on the increase of liver glycogen.

⑥ Trace elements have many important physiological functions (such as those related to sexual function) and biological effects, playing an extremely important role in human life activities and metabolic processes. Trace elements are also very abundant in traditional Chinese medicine for promoting yang, such as acanthopanax senticosus and Astragalus membranaceus, which have high levels of zinc, manganese, and selenium. The content of zinc and manganese in tonifying drugs, including aphrodisiacs, tends to be higher than that in regulating qi. Mineral aphrodisiacs such as magnetite and actinolite contain various trace elements.

The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating sexual dysfunction is indeed significant, and the application of psychological therapy is also essential to effectively cure the disease. To be sure, traditional Chinese medicine has a significant therapeutic effect on male sexual function, which has been confirmed by multiple clinical trials. According to data, Chinese traditional medicine believes that sexual dysfunction is mainly related to the "kidney", and acupuncture and moxibustion can correct renal dysfunction through the role of the meridians, which can be used to treat impotence, spermatorrhea and other sexual function diseases. In order to effectively cure male sexual dysfunction diseases, in addition to the frequent application of traditional Chinese medicine methods, psychotherapy is also of great concern. In summary, in order to control the deterioration of the disease in a timely manner, patients should promptly use traditional Chinese medicine to treat sexual dysfunction and apply dialectical treatment.
