Patient's question:
Acupuncture treats premature ejaculation by directly blowing out the moxa stick and targeting the acupoints. I applied acupuncture for 3 days, but as a result, my tongue developed sores, and my mouth felt like it was going to rot. I don’t understand acupuncture, but since it’s a matter of life and death, I had no choice. I applied acupuncture to the Minge (Kidney Gate), Shenque (Conception Vessel), and Minge points, and during this time, I didn’t drink any water. Last night, I started feeling the symptoms of my previous hemorrhoids again, with a foreign body sensation in my anus. Besides the palpable meat in the scrotum, I have varicose veins of the spermatic cord and some pain in the testicles. Many people say this is a sign of disease elimination, that acupuncture directly channels vitality to the affected area. I don’t know what to do and whether I can continue focusing on acupuncture.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the symptoms that reappear currently are related to moxibustion, it is recommended that you should stop moxibustion treatment. Generally, each treatment has its own adaptability and scientific rationale. Currently, it is first recommended that you seek medical advice at a public hospital. Premature ejaculation can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
