A complete collection of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating sexual dysfunction

There is no "universal magic formula" that can cover all conditions. The core principle of all traditional Chinese medicine for regulating sexual dysfunction is syndrome differentiation and treatment. Currently, effective prescriptions that have been clinically proven for many years and commonly used by various schools of traditional Chinese medicine correspond to 7 common syndrome types. All prescriptions must be used under the guidance of syndrome differentiation by professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and it is absolutely prohibited to blindly take them on your own.

To be honest, I have been in the men's clinic for almost ten years, and the most common misunderstanding I encountered is that patients shout "Doctor, I have kidney deficiency, please prescribe me some Liuwei Dihuang Pills" as soon as they come in. Not long ago, there was a 27-year-old young man who read a post online and took Liuwei Dihuang Pills for three months. , the erection problem became more serious. When I took a pulse, the tongue coating was as thick as a layer of tofu residue, my mouth was bitter and bad, and my scrotum was so wet that it could stain my underwear yellow. This was not kidney deficiency. It was obviously the dampness and heat that had blocked the tendons. Taking tonics was like trapping the dampness and heat in the body. Of course, the more I took it, the worse it got.

Let’s first talk about the kidney-tonifying prescriptions that everyone is most familiar with. This one is also the most controversial. Different schools have quite different preferences. People with kidney yin deficiency - those who are usually afraid of heat, always sweat on the palms and soles of the feet, have night sweats at night, have red tongues with less coating, and are easily upset, Liuwei Dihuang Pills are indeed suitable for the symptoms. If the deficiency fire is more severe, frequent nocturnal emissions, dry mouth and tongue to the point where drinking no matter how much water is useless, doctors from Fangpai School often prescribe Zhibai Dihuang Pills, which have a stronger effect in clearing deficiency fire. However, most doctors of the Jingfang School do not like to use such overly greasy patent medicines. When encountering similar situations, they prefer to add scutellaria baicalensis and coptis liane on the basis of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction, or directly use Guizhi plus Dragon Bone Oyster Decoction to reconcile yin and yang. On the contrary, it is less likely to cause stomach bloating and indigestion problems.

If you are usually afraid of the cold, have cold hands and feet, have cold waist and knees, have frequent nocturia, and have a pale tongue, it is a sign of kidney yang deficiency. Jingui Shenqi Pills are the most commonly used. They are gentle and less likely to cause problems. People with more severe yang deficiency can also use Yougui Pills, which will provide more strength. However, doctors from the febrile disease school have always reminded that Yougui Pills are too greasy. People who usually have poor spleen and stomach and have diarrhea after eating something cold must not take it. If you eat it, it will make the blockage worse.

Now more than 60% of young patients in outpatient clinics have no deficiency syndrome at all, but are caused by suppressed emotions. Especially those who work in the Internet and sales fields, they are so stressed every day that they cannot sleep. The more nervous they are during sex, the worse they become. They always sigh and have swollen ribs. This is caused by liver qi stagnation blocking the Zongjin. The most commonly used one is Bupleurum Shugan Powder. If you are prone to bitter taste, internal heat, and short temper, use Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder. Not long ago, there was a 32-year-old programmer who had been married for three years but had no success trying to get pregnant. He had poor erections and suffered from premature ejaculation. He took Xiaoshiwan's kidney-tonifying health products to no avail. The problem was liver stagnation plus mild dampness and heat, so he was prescribed a modified formula of Bupleurum Shugan Powder plus Simiao Pills. He was asked to run for half an hour after get off work every day. After half a month, he came back for a follow-up consultation and said that he could have normal intercourse and his anxiety was relieved a lot.

There are now many patients with damp-heat type, especially those who like spicy food, drink cold beer, are obese, and sit for long periods of time. Most of them have problems with moist scrotum, yellow urine, stool sticking to the toilet, and yellow and greasy tongue coating. Do not use any tonics for this type. Clear dampness and heat first. Simiao Pills and Paixue Fenqing Drink are commonly used There used to be a 28-year-old Sichuan chef who had trouble getting an erection for almost a year. He ate a lot of sea dog pills and deer antlers, and the more he ate, the more bitter his mouth became. When he came, the tongue coating was yellow and greasy. I prescribed Simiao Pills plus psyllium and Alisma, and told him to eat less spicy food and drink less. He came back for a follow-up visit in three weeks and said that the problem was basically solved.

Another type that is easily overlooked is the blood stasis type. Most people have a long-term history of chronic prostatitis, or have suffered trauma to the perineum, or have been sitting and driving for a long time. They usually have swelling and pain in the perineum, a dull pain during erection, and ecchymosis on the edge of the tongue. For this type, you need to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction and Huoluo Xiaoling Dan are commonly used. Many veteran Chinese medicine practitioners like to Adding centipede to the prescription is said to have a strong wandering ability and a very fast effect on unblocking the tendons. However, many doctors believe that centipede is pungent and poisonous and should not be taken for a long time, especially for people with yin deficiency and strong fire. It is easy for nosebleeds and internal heat to occur. For my own clinical use, I usually add it for up to two weeks. When it takes effect, I switch to mild blood-activating medicines such as salvia miltiorrhiza and red peony root. It is safe to use.

If you think very much at ordinary times, have insomnia when thinking about things every day, have no appetite for meals, get tired easily, and are accompanied by premature ejaculation, it is mostly due to a deficiency of the heart and spleen, and Guipi Decoction is particularly suitable for this. Many men who have just given birth have to take care of work and family, and the pressure is so great that they feel like they are sweating. Most of them have this syndrome. There is no need to nourish the kidneys, but just nourish the heart, spleen, and blood. Older men, over 50 years old, have hyposexual function and are afraid of both cold and heat. They are afraid of cold in winter and afraid of heat in summer. This is a deficiency of both yin and yang. Erxian Decoction and Guifu Dihuang Pills can be used. Once the balance is adjusted, the symptoms will naturally be relieved.

To be honest, after so many years of clinical practice, I rarely encounter patients with a single syndrome. Most of them have mixed conditions such as liver stagnation plus dampness-heat, or kidney deficiency plus blood stasis. Prescriptions must be added or subtracted according to the symptoms. There is no prescription listed in the "encyclopedia" that can be used directly. There are also many people who think that traditional Chinese medicine is non-toxic and can be eaten casually. This is completely a misunderstanding. People with kidney yang deficiency who take Liuwei Dihuang Pills will get colder the more they take them, and people with kidney yin deficiency who take Yougui Pills will get more internal heat. Syndrome differentiation is always the first priority.

Finally, I would like to say one more thing, medicine is always just an auxiliary. Stay up late less, smoke less and drink less, stand up and walk more often, and don’t put so much pressure on yourself. In many cases, it is much more effective than taking supplements worth thousands of dollars.
