scrotal problems

[Guest guest]

Hi Henrik,

 

It does sound like a component of your issue is related to a

genitourinary tract infection. You should get a urine and sperm test

to see what's going on. If it does turn out that there is an

infection, there are many herbs that can be helpful, some of which may

grow in your area, like Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva ursi, tincture,

40-60 drops 3-5x daily), as well as others such as Buchu (Agathosma

betulina) and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris seed, in Chinese Bai Ji

Li). If you do have a chronic infection and the urine pH is low, take

1/2 tsp of sodium bicarbonate with each dose of Uva ursi to alkalinize

the urine, which allows the chemical arbutin to hydrolyze into the

antiseptic hydroquinone in the urinary tract. You might also want to

take some vit ACE and zinc to assist in healing.

 

As a specific to your issue, which used to be called "spermatorrhea,"

there are many remedies which are used, among which is another plant

probably growing in your area, that of Black Willow (Salix nigra), and

specifically, the Willow catkins, one generous handful decocted in a

litre of water until the total volume of water is reduced to one

quarter. You can add equal parts Gokshura to this for added effect.

You might also consider taking vajikarana rasayanas such as powders

(churnas) of Asvagandha (Withania somnifera) and Shatavari (Asparagus

racemosa), 10 g each, taken with ghee and honey, twice daily. If you

tummy is still causing problems there are many helpful remedies such as

Hingvastak and Trikatu, or more simpler preparations such as a tea made

from Ginger root, Coriander seed and Cardamom, drunk freely between

meals. The inter-relationship between digestion and the sexual issue

may relate to impaired pelvic circulation, which is usually a liver

problem. So, some kind of bitters may be helpful, as well as an

avoidance of alcohol, drugs, flour, dairy, and sugar. For swollen

scrotum try soaking these tissue in very cold water, for 5-10 minutes,

twice daily - this can be done by using a glass, rather than soaking

the entire pelvis. Also, practice kegel exercise twice daily

(http://www.wrc.net/phyto/kegel.html).

 

btw, Ayurvedic medicine does not recommend semen retention - and in

fact cautions against it. For most men it is better to ejaculate on a

somewhat regular basis, more frequently in the cold winter months, and

less so in summer and fall. I think your problem may be a chronic

infection that has resulted in poor tone within the seminal and scrotal

tissues, which has been aggravated by liver stagnation.

 

best...
