Patient's question:
Hello Doctor:I am currently 23 years old. Due to a mistake I made in my childhood, 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 like oliguria, thirst, and cold limbs. Currently, I am taking Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill) and seek your help to relieve this pain and return to a normal life as soon as possible. How can I correct this mistake 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 habits; kidney deficiency and weak kidney qi lead to loss of control over semen 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 and mental fog, scattered attention, memory loss, 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 varies. Therefore, the main 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, replenish essence, and regulate the liver and relieve depression. For your condition, it will bring significant improvement and achieve excellent results, leading to a complete cure.
