Treating Male Infertility with Traditional Chinese Medicine: Beware of Heart Deficiency and Not Being Supplemented

The so-called "deficiency" refers to many infertility patients in clinical practice, who have weak physique, low testicular function, and low sperm count, which is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. These patients, taking appropriate drugs with the "big tonifying" effect, such as goji berries, deer antler cream, Xianling spleen, Polygonum multiflorum, Cornus officinalis, Ligustrum lucidum, ripe ground, ginseng, purple river car, deer antler, Xianmao, etc., does have a very significant effect on increasing sperm count and improving sperm quality, which can help a considerable number of infertile patients get rid of mental troubles and enjoy the "joy of family". Therefore, on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat male infertility patients caused by deficiency is indeed worth promoting and promoting.

But any medicine has therapeutic and side effects, and so does traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, the side effects of drugs can vary in size, from mild to severe, and from temporary to long-term. Some traditional Chinese medicine has relatively small side effects, and although the effect is not significant in the short term, it does not cause any harm to the body. But some tonics are "irritable" and can cause accidents if not used properly or if the differentiation is not accurate, which is often seen in clinical practice.

Many drugs with tonifying properties are hot, such as ginseng and deer antler, which ancient emperors loved to take. Ginseng and deer antler both have the effect of improving sexual function. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors often use this formula to treat those with low testicular function and belong to deficiency syndrome. However, excessive use of these drugs can lead to adverse reactions such as nosebleeds and hormonal imbalances, especially for those whose condition does not belong to deficiency syndrome, making abuse more prone to problems. For the combination of deficiency and excess, tonics can also be taken, but they need to be cleverly formulated by doctors and combined with attack and tonics to avoid side effects.
