vasectomy TCM qi flow disruption-ill effects

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone.This is my first post.I am a 57 year old male and I am thinking

about getting a vasectomy. Does the procedure disrupt the qi flow process or

have any detremental health effects in the long run,according to TCM theory.The

scar itself would cut off the flow of qi but that can be remedied.

Losing too much semen during intercourse is not recommended,as men get

older.Does a vasectomy have any effect,as the loss of semen is stopped?

Please add any real life experiences ,if you know of any changes in health from

this procedure,as the result of a vasectomy.

Yes,I know,millions of men ave undergone it..

 

Thanks

I think that if you still ejaculated, you would still lose jing.

Hello all:

 

 

 

A vasectomy would most definitely result in a physiological imbalance.

Although many men have undergone this procedure and there may not be any

directly associated adverse health changes from the surgery, it would

certainly adversely affect the body from the Chinese Medical perspective.

It will at the very least result in local or systemic blood stasis and even

potentially damage the Chinese Kidney metabolic system.

 

 

 

One needs not to ejaculate in order to deplete Jing. Jing is also depleted

by any type of excess, whether it be physical, mental, sexual. A

potentially better alternative to the vasectomy would be to study some

Taoist Sexual Qi Gong with the goal of controlling ejaculation and

circulating Jing through the body instead. There are many guides available.

One of the most prolific writers on this topic is Mantak Chia.

 

 

 

I hope this is helpful.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

So, I'm a guy and a proud owner of one of the glands being spoken of. In

fact, I even had said operation when I was younger.

 

My observations and thoughts:

 

1. It is unknown, at least based on classical texts how much, if any, jing

is saved by removing the tadpoles from the ejaculatory fluid. Some suggest

that the sperm is the most concentrated form of jing there is, and others

suggest that the seminal fluids are also jing. Based on my own physiology,

I would say that too much sexual activity can still deplete me, so my

observation supports the idea that jing is more than just the sperms.

 

2. Recent research studies have found that regular ejaculation can help to

remove old, dead, weak, sperms and actually increase fertility. This is

somewhat opposite from the classical Chinese thinking.

 

3. Recent studies have also linked regular sexual activity to lower rates of

prostate cancer or hyperplasia (BPH). Again, this is contrary to the Chinese

approach that says less sexual activity is better.

 

4. The scar tissue generated by a vasectomy is limited to a smallish scratch

in the scrotal skin, (no longer visible to me) and a pair of tubes inside

that are cut and tied off. Not sure how great is the damage to the channels

and colatarals passing through that area.

 

Ultimately, if you're not concerned about pregnancies, I would suggest

leaving well enough alone. I developed a vericosele soon after my

vascectomy. I've never seen any literature that connects the two, even

though I found the occurances to be somewhat coincidental.

 

Still, they're two different systems (blood vessels ≠ vas tubes) and I'm not

sure if there's a connection. If anything the speed and perceived rush of my

surgeon might have traumatized the vessels and compromised their integrity

such that it caused a vericose vein (vercosele). That's kind of my take on

it, but this remains uncomfirmed by anybody who deals with this issue often.

 

So, I think that if you're concerned about an unwanted pregnancy the

vasectomy is a fine and safe way to go. If pregnancy is not an issue for

you, I'd probably pass on cutting up my nether regions.

 

It was a most disquieting 15 minutes, I might add.
