Patient's question:
Erectile dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture Treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that sexual dysfunction is primarily related to the "kidney." Acupuncture can correct the abnormal function of the kidney through the meridian system, used to treat conditions such as impotence and premature ejaculation.Psychological Treatment: The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon discusses the causes of impotence, summarizing several reasons such as "endless thoughts, unfulfilled desires, excessive sexual fantasy, and excessive sexual activity." Therefore, treatment must also address psychological factors. It is defined as "any means that can satisfy a person's desires and alleviate their unspoken emotional distress." Based on the patient's issues, psychological causes are identified, followed by guidance and support.
Massage Treatment: Massage for sexual function lies in stimulating sexual sensory areas and enhancing sexual arousal. The Mawangdui medical texts, particularly the Harmony of Yin and Yang, provide detailed descriptions, including a comprehensive set of techniques for men to massage their partners, starting from non-sensitive areas to sensitive areas, as well as methods for partners to cooperate. Additionally, it involves unblocking meridians, balancing yin and yang, and improving sexual function. There are two main types: acupoint massage and local massage. Treatment plans are tailored by practitioners based on individual conditions and needs, followed by implementation. Generally, it can treat male sexual dysfunctions such as impotence, premature ejaculation, and nocturnal emissions, as well as female sexual desire disorders and lack of climax.
