Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating sexual dysfunction

There is no universal Chinese medicine prescription that can cure all sexual dysfunctions. All conditioning prescriptions must be based on syndrome differentiation, and organic diseases (such as vascular malformations, nerve damage, endocrine abnormalities, etc.) must be ruled out before taking them. Blindly using folk prescriptions and "improving prescriptions" may aggravate the problem.

The first thing a lot of people say when they come to me is "Do you have any good recipes for me to copy?", and I have to pour cold water on them first every time. The last time I met a 28-year-old young man, I secretly bought Lubian Pills for three months. He had nosebleeds three times. On the contrary, the original erection problem became more serious. His pulse was yellow and greasy, and his pulse was slippery and rapid. It was typical of damp and hot bets. If you give him a strong aphrodisiac, wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire?

Talking about the specific conditioning ideas, the prescriptions used by different schools of traditional Chinese medicine are actually very different. There is no absolute right or wrong, it just depends on whether it is suitable for your situation. For example, the most common type of kidney yang deficiency is usually accompanied by weak erections and decreased sexual desire, as well as cold pain in the waist and knees, frequent urination at night, and cold hands and feet. Doctors of the Jingfang School generally like to use Jingui Shenqi Pills as a primer. If the cold and cold condition is severe, a small amount of Epimedium and Morinda officinalis may be added to warm and moisturize the yang. ； Doctors from the Fang sect at that time were more accustomed to using Yougui Wan, and would also add some dodder, eucommia and the like to strengthen the waist. The properties of the medicine were milder and less likely to cause internal heat.

But don’t think that all problems are false. Among the ten young people who come to the hospital now, at least six or seven are not false at all, but are blocked. For example, if you work on the Internet or in sales, you work overtime every day and get scolded, you often have conflicts with your partners, and you are so stressed that you can't even eat. Naturally, you are not good at that. This type belongs to the type of liver stagnation and qi stagnation. No matter how many aphrodisiacs you take, it will be useless. You have to open the emotional knot first. The Jingfang School generally uses Sini Powder plus Cyperus Cyperus and Turmeric to soothe the liver. Some even add a small amount of Centipede to unblock the meridians, which has a very fast effect. Of course, many doctors think that Centipede is slightly poisonous, and they recommend using Loofah and Passepartout instead, although the effect is slower but still safer. I transferred a 30-year-old operation manager last year, and his boss was chasing KPIs every day. He had been struggling in that area for almost half a year, so I gave him Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder and added some Passepartout without adding any tonics. After two weeks of drinking, he said he was much better. He himself found it incredible.

Some people usually like to drink cold beer, eat barbecue, sit for a long time every day, and their scrotum is so wet that their underwear is wet. Their urine is yellow and painful, and their mouth is always bitter and sticky. This is a damp-heat bet, and you must first clear away the damp-heat. The most commonly used is Longdan Xiegan Decoction or Peixiao Fenqing drink, but there is also controversy here. Some doctors think that the medicinal properties of Longdan Xiegan Decoction are too strong and may damage the spleen and stomach, so they recommend using Sanren Decoction to adjust slowly. In fact, as long as it is symptomatic, drink Longdan Xiegan Decoction for three to five days, and then stop taking the medicine when the dampness and heat are almost gone. There will be no side effects at all. On the contrary, if it drags on for a long time, the dampness and heat will become more blocked, making it more troublesome to adjust. The young man who just mentioned taking Lubian Pills, I prescribed him a modified version of Longdan Xiegan Decoction for 7 days. After drinking it, his scrotum stopped becoming wet, and after another half month of adjusting his spleen and stomach, the problem was naturally cured.

If you usually have hot palms and soles, night sweats at night, dry mouth and tongue, and are prone to premature ejaculation, it is probably due to kidney yin deficiency. In this case, you must not use aphrodisiacs, and focus on nourishing yin. The Jingfang School generally uses Liuwei Dihuang Pills as the base. If the deficiency-fire is severe, with a bitter mouth and red tongue in the morning, add Zhimu and Huangbaicheng Zhibai Dihuang Pills. ； Shifangpai sometimes adds astringent products such as mulberry mangosteen and golden cherry tree, which can improve premature ejaculation more obviously.

Of course, not everyone can fit these single syndrome types. Many people have a mixture of deficiency and excess, such as both kidney yang deficiency and dampness and heat, or both liver stagnation and spleen deficiency, so the prescription must be adjusted flexibly. Not long ago, I met a 42-year-old brother who works in engineering. He drinks with clients until midnight every day. He urinates more at night because of the cold, and his scrotum is also very wet. I gave him Jingui Shenqi Pills with Phellodendron cypress and coix seed to replenish yang and clear away dampness and heat. I didn’t add any precious medicinal materials. Within three weeks, most of his condition was restored.

Let me talk about my own experience. No matter what prescription I prescribe, I am always used to adding two or three herbs that promote qi, such as tangerine peel and citrus aurantium husk. Otherwise, the tonic is easily blocked in the spleen and stomach, cannot be absorbed, and may cause inflammation and aphthous ulcers. In addition, don’t think that traditional Chinese medicine is slow to treat. If it is symptomatic, you can usually feel the change in 1-2 weeks. If there is no change after taking it for a month, either the syndrome differentiation is wrong, or your living habits have not changed. If you are drinking medicine here and staying up until three o'clock every day, eating barbecue and drinking cold beer, then no magic prescription can save you.

Finally, I have to say one more word. If you really have a problem, go to a regular hospital for investigation first. Don’t be embarrassed, and don’t blindly search for prescriptions and just take your own medicine. Everyone’s body is different, and a prescription that suits others may be “poison” for you.
