Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ideas for varicocele? Main symptom is stabbing pain once per week, heavy sensation, heavy sweating in groin at night. Cannot feel the varicocele, but has very low sperm count. Alicia Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang makes sense here. Though the stabling pain may also be " cold in the liver channel " in which case we'd be looking at ju he wan. They're both kind of warm in nature, so you should pay atention to the sweating. If it gets worse, add some herbs to cool the liver, like maybe zhi zi and mu dan pi. Ju He Wan tongue: White, greasy coat Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang tongue: Deep red or purple I talked to a guy who wrote a book on male sexual health and he had never seen vericocele successfully treated with herbs and/or acupuncture. However, not having seen it work is not the same as it not working. Still, there is a simple operation to open up the faulty valve for the venious blood in the scrotum. I haven't heard of people getting messed up by this surgery. -al. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
