Muscle atrophy

　　Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of impotence is often due to insufficient liver and kidney, and depletion of essence and blood; or stagnation of the liver channel, unsmoothness of Jueyin; or downward flow of damp-heat, tendons becoming loose, treatment may be supplemented or relaxed, or cleared or drained, almost becoming a law. Due to internal liver heat, insufficient Yin blood, and dryness of tendinous sheaths, as stated in 'Su Wen': The liver governs the tendons and tendinous sheaths in the body... When the liver Qi is hot, the gallbladder is drained, causing bitter taste, and the tendinous sheaths become dry.

　　According to the clinical manifestations and infection characteristics of this disease, complications such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, dysuria, infertility (prostate, spermatic cord lesions), and blood枯 may occur. At the same time, due to the quality of sperm being affected, there is often a low vitality and insufficient number of sperm, so male infertility and sterility may be induced. Varicose veins of the spermatic cord may also cause complications such as pain during ejaculation and blood seminal emission.

　　It belongs to one of the atrophy syndromes. Symptoms include bitter mouth, muscle stiffness and spasm, flaccid penis that cannot be retracted, seminal emission, etc. This disease is caused by liver Qi heat, liver Yin deficiency; or excessive consumption of kidney essence, causing the tendons and tendinous sheaths to lose nourishment.

　　In the 'Su Wen', the detailed explanation of 'Wan Lun' says: 'Thoughts are endless, desires cannot be fulfilled, indulging in external desires, overindulgence in the bedroom, the tendons become loose, leading to muscle atrophy, and white seminal emissions. Therefore, as stated in the 'Xia Jing': Muscle atrophy originates in the liver, affecting the internal organs.' Regarding the discussions of 'thoughts', 'desires', and 'indulgence' in the text, it is feared that the intention of the sages is aimed at the mind, spirit, and intention, and based on this, it leads to injuries in the bedroom, and the atrophy of the tendons due to the change in liver and kidney essence and blood. We have proven this in clinical practice, and with the experience of treating atrophy from generation to generation, supplemented by adjusting the mind and spirit, we have achieved good effects, which are far beyond expectations!

　　1. Clinical physical examination:Since this disease is related to kidney Qi deficiency as described in traditional Chinese medicine, it can affect vision, so clinical examination often shows a significant decrease in vision, accompanied by blurred vision. There is obvious pain in both sides of the waist, and significant tenderness upon percussion. The scrotum is relaxed, and varicose veins of the spermatic cord can be felt.

　　2. Laboratory examination:It is possible to use ultrasound to determine if there are kidney and ureteral stones, and the examination of seminal quality shows a decrease in sperm count and vitality.

　　1. Pay attention to living habits, maintain a good mental state, avoid catching a cold or being overworked to prevent a decrease in resistance.

　　2. Diet should be light, avoid spicy and刺激性 foods and greasy foods, avoid smoking and drinking, in order to prevent a decrease in resistance, pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits and high-protein foods.

　　3. Traditional Chinese medicine attaches importance to regulating such diseases through diet, believing that sparrows, walnuts, dog meat, and shrimp have the effect of invigorating yang, reinforcing the kidney, and consolidating essence. Patients with sexual dysfunction may eat more of these foods. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also believes that foods that damage essence and yang and are not conducive to sexual function should be used with caution, such as crude cottonseed oil, pork brain, sheep brain, rabbit meat, black fungus, winter melon, water chestnuts, almonds, etc.

　　Pay attention to sexual abstinence in daily life, avoid consuming kidney essence, maintain an optimistic spirit, avoid excessive emotions, and try to do the following:

　　1. Have a regular lifestyle, first arrange a daily life order, sleep and get up on time, do not stay up late, and work and rest in harmony.

　　2. Avoid wind and cold, prevent colds. Patients with myasthenia gravis have poor resistance, and catching a cold not only promotes the recurrence or aggravation of the disease but also further reduces the body's resistance to the disease.

　　3. Have a moderate diet, as the pathogenesis of flaccidity syndrome is closely related to spleen and qi deficiency, so dietary regulation is more serious. Do not overeat or under-eat, maintain regularity and moderation, and properly match various nutrients, and do not have a preference for food.

　　4. Pay attention to moderate exercise, strengthen the body, but do not over-exercise, especially for patients with myasthenia gravis, excessive exercise can worsen symptoms, so patients should choose some sports that help recover health according to their own conditions. Patients with severe illness or those with a history of long-term bedridden should be given appropriate massage to prevent bedsores.

　　5. In treatment, patients should have a good attitude and confidence in recovery. Encourage patients to have a positive and optimistic attitude towards treatment, reduce the psychological burden on patients, and avoid mental stimulation and excessive mental (physical) exhaustion.

　　6. Pay attention to various infections, maintain a regular lifestyle, and eat more high-protein foods such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, eggs, soy products, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Nutritional balance is very important for patients. At the same time, pay attention to the digestibility of food.

　　7. Avoid: raw, cold, spicy, and pungent foods, as well as stimulants such as tobacco and alcohol. Do not eat mung beans while taking medicine.
