Patient's question:
Hello Doctor:I am currently 23 years old. Due to a mistake in my youth, I used to have the habit of masturbation, which lasted for 5 years. Two years ago, I experienced tinnitus, dizziness, and vomiting. Now, the tinnitus has been treated, but instead, I have developed testicular atrophy and penile atrophy. Sometimes, my waist on both sides aches severely, and I also have symptoms of oliguria, thirst, and cold limbs. Currently, I am taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan and seeking your help to relieve this pain and return to a normal life as soon as possible. How can I correct these mistakes in a timely manner?
Doctor's answer:
Long-term or frequent masturbation keeps the central nervous system in a state of involuntary excitement and forms physical inertia; kidney deficiency and weak kidney qi lead to loss of control over seminal retention. The main conditions include yin deficiency with excess fire and weak kidney qi. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that neurasthenia is often caused by deficiency of the heart and spleen or yin deficiency with excess fire. The psychological and physical abnormalities caused by neurasthenia manifest as: decreased self-control, irritability, heightened sensitivity to stimuli, especially being particularly sensitive, insomnia, frequent dreams, easy waking, persistent pure headaches, dizziness, mental confusion, scattered attention, memory decline, fatigue, palpitations, poor appetite, abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, frequent urination, menstrual disorders, and premature ejaculation, etc. Not all patients exhibit all these symptoms, some only show a few, and the severity also varies. Therefore, the primary treatment approach focuses on tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence. First, masturbation must be abstained from. Second, taking Fu Zi Qiang Shen Pian can tonify the kidneys and replenish essence, regulate the liver and relieve depression. It will bring significant improvement to your condition, with excellent results and complete cure.
