Patient's question:
Frequently having nocturnal emissions, waking up with swollen and painful eyes in the morning, feeling nauseous and vomiting after eating cold watermelon or greasy food—what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
In the morning, when going to bed, the eyelids were swollen, which is considered a sign of spleen yang deficiency. Spleen yang deficiency cannot transport and transform body fluids, leading to the overflow of dampness and resulting in eyelid swelling. It is recommended to have a follow-up consultation with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to integrate tongue and pulse diagnoses for a clear and definitive diagnosis, followed by syndrome differentiation and treatment with appropriate medication. Emission during sleep can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and proper medication are essential during the treatment. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding.
