Patient's question:
Actually, I knew I was infertile last year, but I never dared to tell my wife, afraid she would divorce me. I secretly took many medications and visited many doctors, but it didn't help. Now my wife is forcing me to go to the hospital for a check-up. I'm really in a dilemma. Please ask: How should I deal with male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The TCM differentiation of male infertility can be categorized into several types: Kidney Essence Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation, Mingmen Fire Deficiency, Kidney Yin Deficiency, Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis, and Phlegm-Dampness Internal Excess. TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and on this basis, many patent Chinese medicines can be selected for conditioning. For example, for Kidney Essence Deficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) can be taken; for Liver Qi Stagnation, Xiaoyao Wan (Free and Easy Wanderer Pill) can be used; for Mingmen Fire Deficiency, Yougui Wan (Right Regulating Pill) can be adopted; for Kidney Yin Deficiency, Zhibai Dihuang Wan (Modified Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Jiawei Dihuang Wan (Modified Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) can be used; for Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis, Wujin Wan can be adopted; for Phlegm-Dampness Internal Excess, Xiangsha Liujun Wan (Aroma Sand Six Pill) and Jiawei Xiangsha Zhimu Wan (Modified Aroma Sand Zhi Mu Pill) can be used.
