Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a long-standing system of medicine that emphasizes a holistic approach and a balance of yin and yang in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, the occurrence of male diseases is often related to a variety of factors, but it can be summarized into four main causes: invasion of external evils, emotional and internal injuries, uncontrolled diet, and loss of work and rest. This article will explore these four reasons in detail.
1. Invasion of external evils
In TCM theory, external evil refers to external factors that can cause diseases, such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire and other natural climatic factors. Male diseases such as impotence and spermatozoa are sometimes related to the invasion of external evils. For example, long-term exposure to cold may lead to a deficiency of kidney yang, causing impotence.
2. Emotional internal injury
Sentiment refers to a person's emotional state. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive mood swings or persistent bad mood can harm the body's internal organs, especially the liver. Emotional depression, anger, anxiety, etc., can lead to liver qi stagnation, affecting men's sexual function and reproductive health.
3. Poor diet
Diet is an important material basis for maintaining the vital activities of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that "five grains are nourishing, five fruits are helping, five animals are beneficial, and five vegetables are abundant", and advocates a balanced and moderate diet. Excessive alcohol consumption, spicy or fatty foods can lead to impaired spleen and stomach function, which in turn can affect men's health.
4. Loss of work
Moderate labor and rest are essential to maintain good health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that overexertion can damage the body's essence and qi, leading to kidney deficiency; Excessive comfort will make the human body's qi and blood flow unsmooth, affecting health. Therefore, the combination of work and rest and proper exercise is very important to maintain men's health.
Methods of prevention and treatment of andrology in traditional Chinese medicine
When TCM prevents and treats men's diseases, it usually uses the following methods:
drug therapy
According to the patient's constitution and condition, the Chinese medicine will select the corresponding Chinese medicine for treatment. For example, drugs that warm and yang and tonify the kidneys are used to treat impotence, or drugs that relieve liver and depression are used to regulate sexual dysfunction caused by emotional problems.
Diet
TCM will recommend a suitable diet plan according to the patient's constitution. For example, people with yang deficiency can eat more warm foods, such as mutton, chicken, etc.; People with a hot and humid constitution should avoid spicy and irritating foods.
Emotional recuperation
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of emotional recuperation. By adjusting the mindset and maintaining emotional stability, it is possible to prevent and alleviate male diseases caused by emotional problems.
Acupuncture massage
Acupuncture and massage are important means of TCM in the treatment of diseases. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, the flow of qi and blood in the human body can be regulated and the function of internal organs can be improved.
Traditional Chinese medicine has rich experience and a unique theoretical system in the prevention and treatment of andrological diseases. Understanding and mastering the pathogenic factors of TCM is of great significance for maintaining men's health. Of course, each person's constitution and condition are unique, and when practicing TCM advice, individual circumstances should be considered and a professional TCM physician should be consulted if necessary.
