Patient's question:
I've never been able to conceive, and I haven't felt anything unusual. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with blocked vas deferens. No wonder I couldn't have children. How should I treat a blocked vas deferens to recover?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that vas deferens obstruction is caused by blood stasis blocking the channels, which hinders the overflow of kidney essence and prevents the discharge of semen for conception. It is divided into two types: cold stasis and damp-heat stasis. During treatment, the goal is to activate blood circulation, resolve stasis, and promote the generation of new blood to re-establish the unobstructed flow. TCM primarily uses methods such as regulating qi, activating blood circulation, and relieving pain to treat vas deferens obstruction. For your condition, it is best to undergo holistic treatment with TCM herbal medicine. However, before using TCM herbal medicine, it is essential to consult a TCM practitioner skilled in syndrome differentiation and treatment. The practitioner should diagnose based on the four diagnostic methods—examination of the tongue, pulse, and symptoms—and then prescribe the appropriate herbal medicine. For patients, if the gynecological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment with proper medication is necessary.
