Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment: Chinese medicine believes that sexual dysfunction is mainly related to sexual dysfunction. "Kidney" acupuncture and moxibustion can correct renal dysfunction through the role of meridians, and is used to treat impotence, spermatorrhea and other sexual function diseases.

Psychotherapy: When discussing the causes of impotence, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine concluded that "there is no limit to thinking, no desire, no desire, too much sexual desire, too much room entry". For several main reasons, heart drugs must also be used for treatment. That is to say, "Anything that can satisfy people's wishes and alleviate the unspeakable depression in the heart is called heart medicine." According to the patient's problems, find the psychological reasons, and then consult.

Massage therapy: The role of massage on sexual function is to develop the sexual sensation area and promote sexual excitement. It is introduced in detail in the medical book "Yin and Yang" of Mawangdui, such as how to cooperate with the wife from top to bottom, from non-sensitive area to sensitive area; To dredge meridians, regulate yin and yang, and improve sexual function, it is usually divided into acupoint massage and local massage. According to different states and needs, doctors make treatment plans and then implement them. Generally, it can treat impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculation and other male sexual dysfunction, female low libido, lack of orgasm, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: There are many sexual treatment prescriptions in Mawangdui medical book, including internal and external drugs. In the popular drug treatment at that time, external drugs far exceeded internal drugs. The general method is to smear drugs on the penis or wash the vagina with drugs, which is obviously different from the current main drug treatment.

Drugs with sexual therapeutic effects can enhance sexual excitement and promote semen production, such as gecko, hippocampus, snake bed, epimedium, etc. However, some drugs have serious side effects. For example, in the regimen, Yang Si, red ant, plaque and other insects are used as external drugs to stimulate sexual desire and treat impotence. These insects are poisonous. Improper use will cause local hyperemia, burning pain, nausea, hematemesis, hematuria and other reactions, and even endanger life.

Food treatment: The Ten Questions in Mawangdui medical book put forward the methods of food treatment: we must "eat the way of yin" (eat the food with the function of nourishing yin) and persevere, including cypress kernel, cow and sheep milk, etc.; If you have frequent sexual intercourse, you can use birds to nourish, of which the eggs of spring birds and roosters are the most effective. You can also take them in stir-fried malt powder at ordinary times. Take these foods seriously, and you can "die" (treat impotence). There are also other commonly used animal genital organs (organs).
