Treatment for Male Infertility
Currently, Western medicine's treatments for male infertility often target only specific affected tissues and fail to achieve comprehensive therapy or overall regulation. Western surgical interventions are also associated with high trauma, risk, and recurrence rates, making many patients reluctant to undergo them. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of treating male infertility, with extensive experience and proven effectiveness. As early as the classic ancient Chinese medical text Huangdi Neijing, there were discussions on the relationship between human kidney qi and growth, development, and reproduction. The traditional Chinese herbal formula Shenkun Yansiqiao has been passed down through generations, helping numerous infertile men overcome their struggles. Adhering to the principle of external treatment for internal diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, it delivers medication through an ointment applied to the Shenque acupoint. This method is safe, convenient, and highly effective, making it a model for the use of traditional Chinese medicine in treating male infertility.
Prevention of Male Infertility:
1. Vaccinate on schedule and maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infectious diseases that harm male fertility, such as mumps and sexually transmitted infections.
2. Start sex education and hygiene education from adolescence, learn about sexual knowledge, understand male physiological characteristics, and health care. If any abnormal changes in the testicles are noticed, such as swelling, hardness, unevenness, or pain, seek medical attention promptly.
3. Strengthen self-protection awareness, especially in occupational safety. If you frequently expose yourself to radioactive substances, high temperatures, or toxic chemicals, strictly follow operating procedures and safety regulations. Do not neglect precautions. If you plan to have children in the near future, it is best to avoid such work for at least six months before conception.
4. Protect the testicles and other reproductive organs. The testicles are a delicate organ, with an optimal working temperature about 1 degree lower than the human body's normal temperature. High temperatures can impair sperm production, so avoid any factors that raise testicular temperature, such as prolonged bicycle riding, hot baths, or wearing jeans.
5. Break bad habits, quit smoking and drinking; avoid excessive consumption of greasy foods, as it can affect sexual desire. Additionally, avoid exposure to toxic substances in daily life, such as dry-cleaning chemicals, which can impair male sexual function.
6. Undergo premarital examinations to detect abnormalities early and avoid postmarital problems. After marriage, communicate openly with your spouse about sexual issues, cooperate, and understand each other to prevent psychological impotence or premature ejaculation.
7. In marital life, maintain mutual cooperation and understanding to avoid sexual dysfunction such as impotence, premature ejaculation, or abnormal ejaculation.
