Features: This book focuses on common and frequently-occurring diseases, with some rare and difficult conditions also included. The purpose is to provide clinicians and patients with a clinical reference book for effective prescriptions. The book is organized into 10 chapters covering 76 disease types, including sexual dysfunction, infertility, prostate diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, penile diseases, scrotal diseases, testicular diseases, epididymal diseases, and spermatic cord diseases. Each chapter is further divided into sections based on disease names. To meet the needs of clinical diagnosis, etiology, and syndrome differentiation, the book primarily adopts modern medical disease names, with traditional Chinese medicine names used when modern names are unavailable. Each disease name is divided into three parts: overview, basic formula, and remarks. The overview elaborates on the basic concepts, clinical manifestations, common syndromes, and the understanding of the disease from both modern and traditional Chinese medicine perspectives, aiming for conciseness and clarity. The basic formula includes the composition, rationale, and modifications of the prescription, ensuring rational compatibility, safety, and effectiveness, with flexible modifications that reflect the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. For the convenience of patients, traditional Chinese medicine formula prescriptions are also included. The remarks are based on the author's years of clinical experience and precautions in diagnosis and treatment, hoping to provide benefits for disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care, and rehabilitation. At the end of the book, a prescription index is provided for reference.
