Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the master of catharsis, and has the characteristics of being happy with the state of mind and hating depression. The liver regulates the flow of qi in the body, which is mainly reflected in regulating emotional activities and assisting digestion.
The main function of liver qi is to regulate emotions. People's emotional activities should not only be dominated by the heart, but also be regulated by the liver. There are two aspects of "too much" and "less than" for the liver to control the catharsis. Both too much and less than catharsis are pathological. If the liver qi is too hyperactive, it will be called "liver yang" or "liver fire" if it is too high, which can be seen as irritability, redness, dizziness and tinnitus. On the other hand, due to external stimulation, it leads to persistent and excessive depression, and is prone to stagnation of liver qi, which is characterized by liver loss and laxity syndrome, such as fullness of both flanks, lack of appetite, and belching.
The catharsis function of liver qi can regulate the qi of the whole body, and the liver governing catharsis is also naturally related to premature ejaculation. Arrest with pulse can show impotence, ejaculation and premature ejaculation in men, and irregular menstruation and vaginal discharge in women. For gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation, breast pain during menstruation, and abdominal pain, the method of regulating the liver is effective every time. Therefore, the effect of liver dysfunction on premature ejaculation also has indirect and direct effects. For the treatment of premature ejaculation, it has been reported that the method of soothing the liver and softening the tendons has achieved a certain effect, which is worthy of reference by clinicians.
