How Chinese Medicine Views Sexual Disorders and Men’s Health
Chinese Medicine can help treat various male disorders. At the center of treating
all male disorders are the Kidneys. Although other organ systems tend to be involved
such as the Liver, Spleen, Bladder, and Heart the kidneys are usually at the core
of the problem. One of the Kidneys major functions according to Chinese Medicine
is storing Jing (essence). Jing is one of the three treasures, Qi and Shen (spirit)
being the other two. “The life-giving processes of nature are manifest in the concept
of Jing. It can be understood as the sap of life, the irreducible essence that contains
all the critical ingredients needed to make new life that shares characteristics
with its source.” As Jing has a direct connection with sperm in men you can begin
to see why premature ejaculation and other sexual disorders are important to treat
for the Chinese. As a man ages Jing naturally depletes. As a man turn 40 the decline
of kidney Qi begin and with that Jing. Men experience their own kind of Men-opause
as they age. This is different then that experienced by woman, as there is no single
physiological change. This is still a time that brings many imbalances in men as
estrogen begins to be the dominant hormone in the body. Another reason why the kidneys
are the focus of treatment is close connection urinary function. According to Chinese
Medicine the function corresponds to urinary incontinence as well as premature ejaculation.
Both of these functions depend upon the kidneys strength and control to govern these
functions properly. If this ability is weakened someone might experience frequent
urination, dribbling, or incontinence.
