Patient's question:
I have a friend who was checked by a doctor and said to be infertile. How is male infertility treated?Doctor's answer:
It is not advisable to be extreme in medication. When treating yang, one should seek yang within yin; when tonifying yin, one should seek yin within yang. While tonifying the kidneys, attention should also be paid to concomitant symptoms: if qi deficiency is present, add herbs that tonify qi; if blood deficiency is present, increase herbs that nourish blood; if damp-heat exists, add herbs that clear heat and resolve dampness; if blood stasis is present, supplement with herbs that activate blood circulation and remove stasis. Infertility can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
