Seminal stasis

　　It is usually caused by excessive sexual activity, holding back semen, or masturbation in adolescence, or not having sexual intercourse for a long time, or being injured by fear and惊恐, or blood stasis,败精, damp-heat stasis, or injury from surgery, etc. If kidney Qi is deficient and lacks the power to promote, or liver Qi is stagnated and fails to discharge, it can also lead to poor seminal discharge and blood stasis.

　　According to the clinical manifestations and infection characteristics of the disease, complications such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, dysuria, infertility (prostate, seminal cord lesions), and blood depletion may occur. At the same time, due to the poor quality of sperm, it is often accompanied by low sperm vitality and insufficient quantity, which can thereby induce male infertility and subfertility. Varicocele can lead to complications such as pain during ejaculation and seminal blood.

　　The main symptoms include poor ejaculation or inability to ejaculate, accompanied by pain in the seminal ducts, heavy坠 sensation in the lower abdomen, seminal cord nodules hard as beads, and symptoms such as back pain and dizziness. The characteristics of seminal stasis: distension (oppressive, heavy), pain (stinging, piercing, jumping), dizziness (dizzy, painful); kidney collaterals are blocked, seminal stasis leads to distension and pain, kidney essence stasis, clear Yang is not nourished, leading to dizziness or dizziness and pain.

　　The etiology of this disease is not yet clear, and it may be related to environmental factors, genetic factors, dietary factors, and emotional and nutritional factors during pregnancy. Therefore, it is not possible to prevent the disease directly by targeting the etiology. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are of great significance for indirect prevention of the disease. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive sexual activity to reduce kidney Qi damage and to reduce the occurrence of complications of the disease.

　　Semen examination:

　　1. Semen volume:The amount of semen discharged in one ejaculation is 2-5 ml.

　　2. Color and transparency:Normal semen is milky white or grayish white when freshly ejaculated, becomes semi-transparent and milky white after liquefaction, and can be pale yellow for those who have not ejaculated for a long time.

　　3. Viscosity and liquefaction:Fresh semen is sticky and jelly-like for a few seconds after being ejaculated, and starts to liquefy after 30 minutes under the action of plasmin in the semen. If the viscosity decreases and becomes like rice gruel, it may indicate a decrease in sperm count.

　　4. Acidity and Alkalinity:pH value. Normal semen is weakly alkaline pH 7.2-8.0, which is conducive to neutralizing acidic vaginal secretions. A pH value less than 7 or greater than 8 can affect sperm activity and metabolism, and is not conducive to conception.

　　1. Pay attention to self-control, avoid excessive frequency of sexual life, and pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life.

　　2. Consume high-quality protein. High-quality protein mainly refers to various animal foods such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, and eggs, which can provide various amino acids needed for the production of sperm in humans.

　　3. Supplement vitamins and trace elements. Studies have shown that vitamins A and E are vitamins related to maintaining sexual function and delaying aging. They play a decisive role in promoting testicular development, increasing sperm production, and enhancing its vitality. Vitamin C also has a positive effect on the recovery of sexual function and is rich in fruits and vegetables such as fresh jujube, hawthorn, green peppers, and tomatoes.
