Differentiation and treatment of functional erectile dysfunction from liver based on SHENG Canruo's thought of soothing liver Qi
Erectile dysfunction(ED)refers to the inability of the penis to achieve or maintain a sustained erection to complete satisfactory sexual intercourse.Clinical surveys have found that the incidence of ED is increasing year by year,with many patients and increasingly younger.Modern medicine considers erectile dysfunction as psychological,organic and mixed.Western medicine treatment of ED has obvious limitations and many side effects.Traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound,and has irreplaceable advantages in the treatment of ED,especially for functional ED acupuncture therapy.SHENG Canruo is a famous acupuncturist in contemporary China,with deep attainments in the study of male reproductive system diseases.After decades of clinical practice and theoretical research,he proposed that liver Qi(气)imbalance is the core pathogenesis of functional erectile dysfunction.On the basis of summarizing the classical theory of Yang(阳)Qi in Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》),SHENG Canruo proposed the the thought of soothing liver Qi.He pointed out that soothing liver Qi covers more than dredging liver Qi,and soothing emphasizes the nourishing of its own liver Qi,which is closely related to nourishing the liver and tendons.In clinical practice,SHENG Canruo adheres to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment,and divides functional erectile dysfunction into three types:liver depression and Yang deficiency type,liver depression and spleen deficiency type,and cold coagulation liver pulse type.According to the above three common functional erectile dysfunctions,this paper introduces SHENG Canruo's liver soothing acupuncture therapy,to provide reference for clinical practice.
