Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi Sue, just a couple of thoughts, I would be curious about testrostome levels and based on your body description I would wonder about xxy defects (soft body, high voice, poor muscle development). From a cm perspective i would be curious about insubstantial phelgm so maybe er chen wan (when nothing else works look at phelgm) or long dan cao for coursing the liver and draining the lower jiao. If there is low testrostrome or xxy i would probably use essence formulas but would have to think thru the cm perspective.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks for your reply Warren - yes he does have low testosterone levels. The WM docs are holding off giving him a boost because they think he might just be a late developer. His father can't remember his own time of puberty. He is unusually tall though - I don't know where that fits in the hormonal or chromosomal schema. I have given him a prescription that both boosts Kidney yang and courses the Liver channel and I am yet to get a response as to how he's going. Would XXY have other developmental delays?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Sue, Yes, developmental delays along w/ tall height, low T are classical signs of xxy (klinefelters syndrome). Essence formulas would also be my approach along w/ additions. Adaptegens that effect T, FSH, LH and Insulin would effect onset puberty, and bone growth.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hi All, & Sue There is a good review of epidymitis~recurrent / chronic at http://www.medreviews.com/pdfs/articles/RIU_54_209.pdf Causes include urogenital physical abnormality, trauma, fistulas, infections, STDs, etc. One NOT mentioned in the review is sterile inflammatory response after prolonged dry-coughing, with retrograde urinary incursion into the cord. Believe me, I know (to my cost)! Medline has 17 hits for the profile: " Recurrent-epididymitis " See: http://tinyurl.com/6l7az Sekine Y, Kubota Y, Kurihara J. [Recurrent epididymitis in a child without genitourinary malformations: a case report - Article in Japanese]. Hinyokika Kiyo. 2002 Sep;48(9):569-71. Department of Urology, Haramachi Red Cross Hospital. The patient was a 12-year- old boy, who was brought to our hospital with a chief complaint of swelling and pain in the right scrotum. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed blood flow in the right testis and increased blood flow at the right epididymis. Our diagnosis was right epididymitis, and the swelling of the scrotum was improved by antibiotics. Since there was recurrence, right epididymectomy was performed. Histological diagnosis was chronic epididymitis. Postoperative, screening for abnormalities in the urinary tract revealed no malformations. Recurrent epididymitis in a child without genitourinary malformations is a very rare pathology. Publication Types: Case Reports PMID: 12402486 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] My mind boggles at the cavalier attitude of the authors, above: " Since there was recurrence, right epididymectomy was performed ..... " Do these guys hack off a foot if someone has recurrent infection in the foot? No thank you! I hope that Tx with herbs, AP and topical antiinflammatories will obviate the need for drastic surgery, as in the abstract, above! AP Pts would include BL23, BL30, BL32, LV03 or LV08, SP06 or KI07, CV03. Best of luck to that boy!
