Overcome Male Infertility - Diagnosis of Infertility in Traditional Chinese Medicine
As we mentioned in previous articles, infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 million couples alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of an unawareness of treatments, only 10% seek help from professional specialists. In this article, we will discuss what is the diagnosis of male infertility in traditional Chinese medicine.
I. Definition
Traditional Chinese medicine views male infertility as if it is caused by the imbalance of the 5 elements in their theory. It also checks the function of kidney yin and yang, liver qi, stagnation of qi and blood, as well as heat and dampness accumulation in the lower burner.
II. Diagnosis
1. Liver qi stagnation
Liver meridian blockage in the local area (genital) interferes with normal testicle functions, leading to impotence, and low libido and ejaculation.
2. Kidney deficiency
a) Kidney Yang deficiency
Men are considered kidney yang deficient if they have the symptom of low sexual desire, weak ejaculation, impotence, seminal emission, low sperm count, and/or slow sperm mobility.
b) Kidney yin deficiency
According to TCM, the kidney is vital in maintaining a healthy reproductive system in men and women alike. In men, infertility caused by kidney yin deficiency includes symptoms of seminal emission, slow sperm mobility, and/or low sperm count.
3. Stagnation of qi and blood
Stagnation of qi and blood is normally caused by a weakened liver in fat and protein metabolism, and a weakened spleen in blood formation leading to nervous symptoms that include worrisomeness, over-thinking, stress, chronic illness and impotence, low sperm count, short sperm life, and slow sperm mobility.
4. Heat and dampness accumulation in the lower burner
Males suffering from heat and damp diseases are normally caused by excessive alcohol drinking and unhealthy diet, including high saturated and trans fat, and spicy food leading to being overweight, sperm count being low, and sometimes sperm deformities.
